General Notes: Husband - James Oliver Sharrar

---

WWI: Company M, 328th Infantry. For extraordinary heroism in action at Cornay, France, October 9 - 10, 1918. After fighting for six hours, Corporal Sharrar volunteered to accompany fifteen other soldiers and an officer on a night patrol of Cornay, which was held by many enemy machine-gun posts. The party worked from 11 o'clock at night unil the next morning at clearing buildings and dugouts of the enemy, capturing 65 prisoners and two machine guns. With six others, Corporal Sharrar volunteered to enter a dugout where 23 prisoners were captured. He was wounded while leaving the town, but he refused to go to the aid station until the prisoners had been delivered at brigade headquarters.
