Frank W. Carner

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank W. Carner, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action south of Sedan, France, November 7, 1918. Although wounded, Corporal Carner refused to be evacuated and continued to lead his squad forward. Finding another squad without a leader, he combined it with his own, led them both to the attack under heavy fire, and succeeded in driving the enemy from a strong position. His action enabled his company to advance to its objective.
