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 Lieutenant Jeannette Guyot, Army of France, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Office of Strategic Services, in action against enemy forces in enemy-occupied France, from 8 February 1944 to 26 August 1944. Lieutenant Guyot was parachuted, in civilian clothes, into enemy-occupied France as a member of the Pathfinder mission, charged with finding parachuting fields, reception committees, safe houses, and local informants for all the “Sussex” points. As the principal liaison agent of the mission, she traveled widely over the northern France and contacted a large number of agents. Lieutenant Guyot traveled by various methods of conveyance with luggage, which, if it had been opened by the Gestapo, would have resulted in her torture and death. Because of her great courage and initiative, she undertook the most dangerous assignments, such as reporting on Gestapo activities and verifying reports of the arrest or execution of any of the “Sussex” agents. Lieutenant Guyot’s work and conduct were beyond all praise and exemplify the highest traditions of the Armed Forces of the Allied Nations.
