Frank C. Donahoe

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank C. Donahoe, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cunel, France, October 4, 1918. While his company was in support of the attacking company, communication was temporarily lost in the darkness. After all the runners had become casualties, Private Donahoe volunteered and succeeded in establishing liaison, pushing forward through the severe machine-gun and artillery fire despite the fact that he was painfully wounded soon after starting on his mission.
