Godfred N. Wyke

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Godfred N. Wyke, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Fismes and Fismette, France, August 10, – 12, 1918. For three days Lieutenant Wyke voluntarily acted as runner after three of the five runners of his company had been killed and two had been wounded. He made numerous trips by day and night through exposed areas under fire, and thus successfully maintained liaison.
