George B. Redwood

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George B. Redwood, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Cantigny, France, May 28, 1918. First Lieutenant Redwood conducted himself fearlessly to obtain information of the enemy’s action, Although wounded, he volunteered to reconnoiter the enemy’s line, which was reported to be under consolidation. While making a sketch of the German position on this mission he was under heavy fire, and continued his work after being fatally wounded until it was completed. The injuries sustained at this time caused his death.
