Donald W. White

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Donald W. White, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Landres et St. Georges, France, November 1, 1918. When the advance of his battalion was hindered by a strong enemy machine-gun nest, Lieutenant White led his platoon forward in an attack on the hostile position and was killed at the head of his platoon just before the last machine-gun was put out of action.
