Clayton Evans Snyder

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clayton Evans Snyder, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cunel, France, October 13, 1918. Although wounded by machine- gun fire, Lieutenant Snyder refused to be evacuated, and, going out into “No Man’s Land,” located several enemy machine-guns, which were endangering his platoon, and directed the fire of his men with such accuracy that the guns were silenced.
