The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Cyril Carder, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Soissons, France, July 21, 1918. Having been wounded in the back and arm, Lieutenant Carder refused to be evacuated, but continued to lead his platoon forward in the face of intense machine-gun fire, repeatedly exposing himself, with total disregard for personal safety, until he was killed by machine-gun fire.
