A CITATION FOR EUGENE E. CANNON
Recommendation for distinguished ser
vice: Eugene E. Cannon, Corporal Head
quarters Co 10th Field Artillery For
great devotion to his work and excellent
performance of his duties as non-com-
missioned officer in charge of the tele- !
phone detail of the End Battalion, ttdqts |
10th Field Artillery, through the entire |
Meuse-Argonne offensive. He at all times
led his men on particularly hazardous or
disagreeable missions rather than sending
others out, and by the example he set and |
the skillful work he did, maintaining
communication thus enabling the Battal-
ion to do greatly superior work in assist |
ing the infantry which it was supporting.
