The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant Thomas Wynn (ASN: 1706264), United States Army, for repeated acts of extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company H, 307th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in the Argonne Forest, France, 3 and 6 October 1918. Sergeant Wynn advanced alone to within 20 yards of the enemy lines under heavy machine-gun fire, after ordering the members of his platoon to take coyer, and cut openings in the enemy’s barbed wire. He then led his platoon in an. attack on the hostile trenches, in conjunction with another company, and captured 15 prisoners. Three days later, this soldier again displayed exceptional courage, when attempts were being made to relieve a battalion of his regiment which had been cut off by the enemy, in leading the first wave of his platoon in the attack, securing a foothold on the top of a hill, and holding it all night. Next morning he renewed the attack, despite the fact that he had been wounded.
