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 First Class Walter S. Fisher (ASN: 918907), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company C, 304th Field Signal Battalion, 79th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, at Grand Montagne, France, October 28 to 11 November 1918. During this operation our telegraph and telephone lines were being constantly cut by enemy artillery fire. With utter disregard of his own personal danger Sergeant Fisher went out many times, night and day, in an area that was covered with artillery fire, including much gas, to repair breaks in the wires. By his example of personal bravery Sergeant Fisher encourage the men of his platoon to assist in maintaining the lines of communication, thus enabling messages of important military value to be transmitted in times of greatest need.
