Thomas M. Barber
Home Town: Charleston, WV
General Orders No. 99, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Thomas M. Barber, First Lieutenant (Medical Corps), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cantigny, France, May 28 – 30, 1918. First Lieutenant Barber repeatedly demonstrated heroic self-sacrifice by caring for wounded under enemy fire with apparent contempt for his own safety. When his aid station had been destroyed by shell fire he promptly moved into a shell hole nearby and continued his faithful work.
