CUTTER, EDWARD B. First Lieutenant
Deceased. 19th Aero Squadron. For extraordinary heroism in action near Cunel, France, October 21, 1918. Responding to an urgent request for a plane to penetrate the enemy lines to ascertain whether or not the enemy was preparing a counter-attack, Lieut. Cutter immediately volunteered for the mission. Obliged to fly at a very low altitude on account of the unfavorable weather conditions he was under terrific fire of the enemy at all times, by skillful dodging he managed to cross the enemy lines. His plane was seen to suddenly lurch and crash a short distance to the ground, both he and his brother observer being killed. Home address, Mrs. Mary S. Cutter, mother, Anoka, Minn.
