Home Town: Winnsboro, LA
General Orders No. 32, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clarence E. Carroll, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ampiersbach, France, September 28, 1918. Although badly wounded, Corporal Carroll continued in action against an attempted raid by the enemy until he was blinded by the explosion of a hand grenade. His determination was evidenced by the remark, “I can’t see, you give it to them, ” which he made when passing his rifle to a sergeant of his company.
