Major US

Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Army, Company C, 3d Machine
Gun Battalion, 1st Division. Place and date: Near Soissons, France, 18 July
1918. Entered service at: Bruceville, Texas. Born: 9 April 1897, Moorville,
Texas. G.O. No.: 14, W.D., 1923. Citation: Reporting for duty from hospital
where he had been for several weeks under treatment for numerous and serious
wounds and although suffering intense pain from a shattered arm, he crawled
alone into an enemy trench for the purpose of capturing or killing enemy
soldiers known to be concealed therein. He killed 4 of the men and took
the remaining four men prisoners; while conducting them to the rear one
of the enemy was killed by a high explosive enemy shell which also completely
shattered one of PFC. Edwards' legs, causing him to be immediately evacuated
to the hospital. The bravery of PFC Edwards, now a tradition in his battalion
because of his previous gallant acts, again caused the morale of his comrades
to be raised to high pitch. (from
