Clifford Crawford

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clifford Crawford, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bussy Farm, France, September 28 – 29, 1918. Private Crawford was acting as liaison agent between regimental headquarters and the battalion. Having carried a message through a heavy bombardment to the commander of a battalion which was about to make an attack, he joined the first wave of the attack and dashed into the enemy’s trenches. Seeing two of the enemy rush to a dugout, he followed them and brought ten prisoners from the dugout, killing two who tried to escape.
