World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Capt. Daniel Brian Byrd DSC, MC.
United States Army F Coy. 119th Infantry Regiment
from:Linden, NC
General Orders No. 50. First Lieutenant Daniel B. Byrd, Co F, 119th Infantry.
During the advance in the St Benin and Escaufort Area, where the resistance was so obstinate that our front line was momentarily unable to advance, Lieutenant Byrd's detachment was cut off and in great danger of annihilation. By his prompt and accurate placing of automatic rifles, he successfully covered the movements of his detachment and made possible their interrupted return to its company. During this manoeuvre, he was painfully wounded by shrapnel but remained with his men until later ordered to the rear for treatment.
He was one of Eleven Americans who were decorated during that period with both the Distinguished Service Cross and the British Military Cross. This was personally presented by King George V. He also received the Victory Medal with three bars, each representing participation in a major offensive. He was cited for the Victoria Cross, but was ineligible for that honour because it is bestowed only on British subjects.
