Anthony M. Wallace

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Anthony M. Wallace, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cunel, France, October 14, 1918. After his company had been held up by terrific machine-gun fire, while advancing on Cunel, Corporal (then private) Wallace, with another soldier, went forward in the face of the annihilating fire, and, by flanking the strong-point, succeeded in capturing three prisoners and two guns.
