Clyde W. Linton

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clyde W. Linton, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Suippes, France, July 15, 1918. Corporal Linton displayed remarkable courage and devotion to duty, a lineman in charge of exposed telephone lines between his battery commander’s station and the firing battery, during the German attack at Suippes. At great personal risk he repaired the lines as they were broken by shell fire. In performing this duty he was severely wounded.
