War Department, General Orders No. 59 (1919)
CITATION:
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 Private George Bullion (ASN: 77242), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company C, 125th Infantry Regiment, 32d Division, A.E.F., near Cierges, France, 2 October 1918.
While our troops were endeavoring to establish a line six hundred meters in front of the town of Cierges, heavy artillery and enfilading machine-gun fire from enemy guns threatened to hinder the operation. When it became necessary to establish liaison with adjoining units, Private Bullion volunteered and undertook the mission, crossing and re-crossing the area under heavy fire. He continued with his work, although weak from exhaustion and lack of food, until the line was established and the crisis passed.
On 3 April 1919 awarded the French Croix de Guerre with gilt star.
