For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy in the Argonne Forest, France. 6th October, 1918. While engaged with two other soldiers on patrol duty. Private Peck and his comrades were subjected to the direct fire of an enemy machine gun, at which time both his companions were wounded.
