General Orders No. 20, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Paul S. Edwards, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cheppy, France, September 26, 1918. During the attack on Cheppy Lieutenant Edwards displayed unusual gallantry by crossing a fire-swept area and carrying messages to tanks, coolly moving from one to another and informing the drivers of his mission, under a fire so heavy and accurate that many of the tanks were struck by bullets while he was standing by.
