Bio

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 First Class George W. Condit (ASN: 2177534), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Medical Detachment, 353d Infantry Regiment (Attached), 89th Division, A.E.F., near Barricourt, France, November 2 - 3, 1918. Undeterred by seeing another man killed in attempting to reach a wounded soldier, who was lying in the open 100 yards from a wood, Private Condit fearlessly exposed himself to fire from enemy snipers and machine guns, and succeeded in carrying the wounded soldier to shelter. Throughout the attack of November 2-3, Private Condit worked under severe machine-gun fire without cover, in dressing wounds after all other first-aid men had become casualties.
