Leo V. Warner

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Leo V. Warner, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cunel, France, October 14, 1918. Captain Warner, accompanied by a runner, deliberately crossed an open space in order to draw enemy fire and thereby locate hostile positions, securing information which enabled him to maneuver his men into position with a minimum of casualties. He repeatedly visited all parts of his company’s position under fire, and in so doing was wounded.
