Edward A. Duncan

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward A. Duncan, First Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action east of Ronssoy, France, September 29, 1918. During the operations against the Hindenburg line First Sergeant Duncan displayed great gallantry and courage by going forward under heavy shell and machine-gun and bandaging the wounded and bringing them back to our lines. Throughout the engagement he exhibited a fearless disregard of the enemy’s fire and performed valuable service by organizing new squads when his company was suffering heavy casualties as a result of shell and machine-gun fire.
