National Cemetery.
Citation: The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Cyrus Garnsey, III, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Broyes, France, May 18, 1918. While the position of Battery A, 7th Field Artillery, was being transferred to a new position on the afternoon of May 18, 1918, the enemy opened fire on the old position, where a few men remained on duty. Observing that Corporal John G. Flynt, one
of these men, had been severely wounded, Lieutenant Garnsey, with entire
disregard for his own personal safety, rushed forward and carried the wounded
corporal to a place of safety.
We are actively seeking additional information regarding the Lieutenant. Webmaster: Michael Robert Patterson GARNSEY, CYRUS III 2ND LT 7TH NY FA 1ST DIV WW DATE OF DEATH: 09/30/1918 BURIED AT: SECTION S-S SITE 3971 ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY Posted: 17 April 2004 Updated: 1 August 2005 |
