Andrew Denn

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Andrew Denn, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Soissons, France, July 22, 1918. Reorganizing his platoon, after all officers and noncommissioned officers had become casualties, he led a charge on an enemy machine-gun nest which threatened to annihilate his platoon and halted its advance. Although wounded in the attack, he continued on until he had killed the gunner and the entire crew.
