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 Staff Sergeant [then Private First Class] Clyde E. Workman (ASN: 35206124), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy, as a Squad Leader, Company A, 10th Armored Infantry Battalion, 4th Armored Division, in action against enemy forces from 27 September 1944 through 6 October 1944, in France. Staff Sergeant Workman assumed command of the squad when his squad leader was killed. He crawled over three hundred yards in direct view of the enemy and neutralized an enemy mortar squad with hand grenades. During this period he was responsible for killing more than ten enemy soldiers, including snipers. When an enemy tank approached his position, he dashed through heavy fire and set the tank on fire with his machine gun. Staff Sergeant Workman’s extraordinary heroism, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
