Cyrus Garnsey III

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Cyrus Garnsey, III, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Broyes, France, May 18, 1918. While the position of Battery A, 7th Field Artillery, was being transferred to a new position on the afternoon of May 18, 1918, the enemy opened fire on the old position, where a few men remained on duty. Observing that Corporal John G. Flynt, one of these men, had been severely wounded, Lieutenant Garnsey, with entire disregard for his own personal safety, rushed forward and carried the wounded corporal to a place of safety.
