The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Second Lieutenant (Corps of Engineers) George Winfield Kuhlman, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 107th Engineers, 32d Division, A.E.F., near Fismes, France, August 5 - 6, 1918.
Second Lieutenant Kuhlman was sent on the night of August 5 - 6, 1918, to make a reconnaissance of all possible means of crossing the River Vesle, near Fismes, France. It had been reported that the Germans had all retreated from the south bank of the river, but he found that such was not the case; they were there in force. Nevertheless, such was his bravery and determination that he crossed into and through the German lines, made a full reconnaissance, and returned with his report.
