Fred W. Dallas
Home Town: Beaumont, TX
General Orders No. 46, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred W. Dallas, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois-de-Argonne, France, November 2, 1918. Although his arm was shattered by a machine-gun bullet, Corporal Dallas refused to go to the rear, but continued to advance under extremely heavy machine-gun fire until he received two more wounds, one piercing his leg and making it impossible for him to advance further. While crawling to the rear he encountered another wounded man, and assisted him to the dressing station.
