The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clyde F. Manwaring, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Louppy, France, November 9, 1918. His platoon having been held up by enemy machine- gun fire, Sergeant Manwaring took three other soldiers and advanced against the machine guns. Two of the men accompanying him were wounded, but he continued on with the other one and captured two of the hostile guns, killing one of the crew and driving off the remainder.
