Walter S. Fisher

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Walter S. Fisher, Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Grand Montagne, France, October 28 to November 11, 1918. During this operation our telegraph and telephone lines were being constantly cut by enemy artillery fire. With utter disregard of his own personal danger Sergeant Fisher went out many times, night and day, in an area that was covered with artillery fire, including much gas, to repair breaks in the wires. By his example of personal bravery Sergeant Fisher encourage the men of his platoon to assist in maintaining the lines of communication, thus enabling messages of important military value to be transmitted in times of greatest need.
