    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 Corporal Robert Francis Warren (ASN: 2383468), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 60th Infantry Regiment, 5th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Clery-le-Petit, France, 4 November 1918. Corporal Warren voluntarily left a place of comparative safety and went over open and bullet-swept ground to the assistance of a comrade who had been wounded in the advance. While administering first aid he was a continual prey for enemy snipers, but he bravely continued with his mission until killed.
