Frank C. Littlefield

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank C. Littlefield, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Cornay, France, October 10, 1918. Corporal Littlefield was a member of a detachment which had been surrounded by the enemy and had fought for several hours against overwhelming odds. When the officer in charge was about to surrender to the enemy, this soldier refused to do so, and, dashing through severe machine-gun and rifle fire, succeeded in making his escape, though he was wounded in the face in so doing. Reporting to his company without delay, he remained on duty throughout the entire operation.
