Charles L. Anderson

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles L. Anderson, Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Haudiomont, France, November 10, 1918. Sergeant Anderson worked incessantly during a very heavy enemy barrage, keeping up the lines of communication between the regiment and battalions in the field. He was often buried in debris and knocked down by shell explosions, and was both wounded and gassed, but bravely continued his work.
