Edward A. Vosseler

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward A. Vosseler, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action north of Cunel, France, October 15, 1918. His company being held up by machine-gun fire from the front, Lieutenant Vosseler alone rushed 100 yards ahead of his company, exposed to heavy machine-gun fire, and silenced a machine gun. Although knocked down and slightly wounded by shellfire, he went forward and silenced a second gun, thus enabling his unit to continue the advance.
