Jesse Frank Weaver

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Jesse Frank Weaver, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Geneve, France, October 8, 1918. At the starting of the attack Private Weaver was painfully wounded by machine-gun fire. Disregarding his wound, he continued on, and when the company was held up by the extreme fire he voluntarily flanked the enemy position and enabled his comrades to capture the gun. He was evacuated when the objective was reached.
