Charles J. Love

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles J. Love, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-du- Fays, France, October 5, 1918. Volunteering for a dangerous liaison mission, Private Love went out alone, crossing an open space for 400 yards, which was swept by heavy machine-gun fire. Going far in advance of our lines he obtained the desired information and brought back a German prisoner. He was killed later in the performance of duty, by shell fire.
