The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Yves Chataigneau, Lieutenant, French Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Verdun, October 1 – 11, 1918. During the eleven days of action Lieutenant Chataigneau contributed greatly to the success of our operations, by making repeated journeys to the battle line under most hazardous conditions, making tactical dispositions of the conquered territory and aiding in the maintenance of the liaison between the regimental commander, 26th Infantry, and his assault troops.
