Edward H. Wyatt

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward H. Wyatt, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Wadonville, France, September 25, 1918. Wounded while conducting his platoon into position to lay a barrage for a raid, Lieutenant Wyatt showed complete disregard for his own safety by remaining on duty for more than an hour under heavy machine-gun and shell fire, directing the location and adjustment of his guns. After his wounds were dressed he returned to his platoon and remained with it until it was relieved.
