While serving with Company D, 38th Infantry Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, Sergeant Warren commanded with distinction the 3d Platoon, Company D, on the Vesle River near Fismes, France, 5 to 10 August 1918. This platoon consisted of replacements who had just joined the company and who had never been under fire before, and was intended as a reserve platoon but through error was place in the front line without the knowledge of the Company Commander or the members of the platoon. His right and left flank were unprotected. Before the platoon had been settled they were attacked by a hostile patrol with machine guns, hand grenades and rifles on four sides. This sergeant by his coolness and bravery rallied his men, drove the enemy off, leaving several dead and numerous wounded behind them. This was accomplished with the loss of one man killed and five wounded.

Corporal Morris distinguished himself by gallantry in action while serving with the 38th Infantry Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, on the River Marne at Gland, France, during the night of 18 – 19 June 1918. On that night Second Lieutenant William H. Haynes, 38th Infantry Regiment, organized a patrol, of which he was a member, across the river at a point above Fossoy, France. The patrol crossed in three boats, two of the boats on the way over being sunk by enemy fire. The occupants of the two sunken boats swam the river in the face of hostile fire until the enemy’s bank was reached. Upon arrival at the other side their landing was disputed by an enemy patrol. Lieutenant Haynes and his patrol in a hand-to-hand fight succeeded in either killing or capturing the enemy patrol. They reconnoitered the opposite bank, secured it and returned to their own side with valuable information of the enemy’s positions.
