Antonio G. Waldo

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Antonio G. Waldo, First Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois-des-Loges, France, November 1 – 4, 1918. Taking command of his company after all the officers had been wounded, Sergeant Waldo displayed exceptional courage and leadership in holding an advanced position throughout the night and leading his men in a successful advance the next morning. In the three following days he directed the operations of his company against enemy machine-guns and by skillful maneuvering of patrols succeeded in reducing the hostile resistance.
