Warner W. Carr

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Warner W. Carr, Major, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Vaux, France, June 30, 1918. Preparatory to an attack upon Vaux, and in broad daylight, Major Carr voluntarily crawled out into No Man’s Land to a point close to the enemy lines, remaining there several hours under fire from machine guns and snipers, while he made sketches of the town and the defenses. The information he obtained was of the utmost importance in planning the attack which was made the following day with marked success.
