Glenn C. Haynes

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Glenn C. Haynes, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-de-Chatillon, France, October 16, 1918. Captain Haynes, as battalion commander, distinguished himself by his coolness and leadership in the attack on Bois-de-Chatillon and Cote-de- Chatillon. When the commanders of his two frontline companies were put out of action after having obtained a footing upon the slopes, Captain Haynes personally took command of the two companies and in utter disregard for his own safety successfully led them through heavy artillery, machine-gun, and rifle fire to their objective.
