Edward B. Greene

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward B. Greene, Cook, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Greves Farm, France, July 15, 1918. During a bombardment, and after his kitchen had been blown to pieces, Cook Greene voluntarily carried ammunition to exposed positions for several hours under heavy enemy shell fire and in plain view of the enemy balloons. Although wounded in both legs, he refused to be evacuated until ordered to the rear. After rejoining his battery from the hospital he was again wounded in action.
