Donald H. Grant

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Donald H. Grant, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action east of Exermont, France, October 4 – 12, 1918. By repeatedly volunteering to carry messages under heavy machine-gun and artillery fire to front-line company commanders, and by his coolness and courage in carrying out the numerous dangerous missions assigned him, under intense enemy fire, Lieutenant Grant was an inspiration to the officers and men around him.
