_Slack, Clayton K., Private_, Co. E, 124th Infantry, 31st Division,
Lampson, Wis.—Consenvoye, France, Oct. 8, 1918. Observing German
soldiers under cover fifty yards away on the left flank, Private
Slack, upon his own initiative, rushed them with his rifle, and,
single-handed, captured ten prisoners and two heavy-type machine guns,
thus saving his company and neighboring organizations from heavy
casualties.
