Warren C. Stewart

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Warren C. Stewart, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Verdun, France, October 10, 1918. In the Bois-de-Montague, east of the Meuse, Private Stewart voluntarily and at the risk of his life, walked through an opening under direct machine-gun fire to administer first aid to the wounded in an advanced post. During the entire offensive his conduct was instrumental in maintaining the morale of the troops, to which he was attached.
