The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Sergeant Clyde Frank Manwaring (ASN: 735498), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 11th Infantry Regiment, 5th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Louppy, France, 9 November 1918. His platoon having been held up by enemy machine-gun fire, Sergeant Manwaring took three other soldiers and advanced against the machine guns. Two of the men accompanying him were wounded, but he continued on with the other one and captured two of the hostile guns, killing one of the crew and driving off the remainder.
