Patton L. Logan

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Patton L. Logan, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Mon Plaisir Ferme, France, November 10, 1918. During the attack Captain Logan, at the head of an assaulting platoon, advanced under heavy machine-gun and artillery fire. He was seriously wounded and later lost his leg as a result of the wound, but refused evacuation and continued to direct the attack until darkness prevented further operations.
