Patrick Travers

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Patrick Travers, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sedan, France, November 6, 1918. Without assistance, Corporal Travers advanced on an enemy’s sniper’s post and successfully made prisoners of the entire crew, which included one officer, only being able to take the latter after a brief struggle. His action prevented a flanking fire on his platoon and aided greatly in their rapid advance.
