Frank Jaworski

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank Jaworski, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action west of Fismes, France, August 5, 1918. Corporal Jaworski was a member of a small detachment of engineers which went out in advance of the front line of the infantry through an enemy barrage from 77-mm. guns and one-pounder guns to construct a footbridge over the River Vesle. As soon as their operations were discovered machine-gun fire was opened up on them, but, undaunted, the party continued at work, removing the German wire entanglements and completing a bridge which was of great value in subsequent operations.
