The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Philip Remington, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism while serving with 22d Infantry, in action at Malala River, Mindanao, Philippine Islands, 22 October 1905. While commanding the leading troop of the advance guard of an expedition against Dato Ali, upon locating Ali’s cotta, which was occupied by hostile Moros, Lieutenant Remington courageously dashed forward, leading his men, and engaged the enemy at point-blank range. In a pistol and rifle duel he succeeded in killing Ali with his pistol, but not until one of Lieutenant Remington’s own men had been killed by rifle fire from Ali. He then disposed his command, which in a brisk fire fight killed the remaining members of the band of Moros.
