The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clarence O. Kramps, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Eugene, France, July 14 – 15, 1918. Corporal Kramps remained on duty as chief of section after being very severely wounded. Later in the action when one of his gun crew was wounded, he was lifted to the seat and continued to fire the piece in addition to his other duties until forcibly taken from the seat and sent to an aid station. Here it was found that he had been wounded in four places.
