If R is a complete discrete valuation ring and M is a reduced, torsion-free R-module of rank \kappa, where \aleph_0 \leq \kappa < 2^ (\aleph_0), we show that M \prop\oplus_(\aleph_0) R \oplus C for some R-module C. As a consequence, it must be the case that M \prop M \oplus (\oplus{_\alpha}R), where \alpha \leq \aleph_0, and {\rm (End)_R}M/\rm (Fin)M has rank at least 2^ (\aleph_0), where Fin M denotes the set of endomorphisms of M with finite rank image.
