Irwin Myers

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Irwin Myers, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Romagne, France, October 30, 1918. Facing heavy machine-gun and artillery fire, Corporal Myers crawled beyond the infantry front lines to a crest overlooking the enemy position. Working under continuous fire, he made a panoramic sketch of hostile positions, which proved of great value in directing our artillery fire.
