Distinguished Service Cross Citation
  Grady Parrish, sergeant, Company G, 167th Infantry. For extraordinary heroism
in action near Cote-de-Chatillon, France, October 16, 1918. After his platoon
commander had been severely wounded and his platoon had suffered heavy
casualties, he quickly reorganized the remainder of the platoon and personally
led it in the attack on Cotc-de-Chatillon. By his daring acts, coolness, and
good judgment he broke up a heavy enemy counterattack on his front, thereby
saving his men and being an example of exceptional heroism and devotion to duty.
Residence at enlistment: Enterprise, Ala.
