Victor L. Seagraves

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Victor L. Seagraves, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Baulny, France, September 28, 1918. Sergeant Seagraves voluntarily formed and led a patrol against an enemy machine-gun nest, which was causing many casualties in his battalion, and captured one of the guns. With utter disregard for his personal safety he advanced alone on another gun of the nest but was severely wounded by the intense fire, in the performance of this heroic act.
