Charles F. Frizzell

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles F. Frizzell, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Le Charmel, France, July 22, 1918. While making a personal reconnaissance in front of our lines Lieutenant Frizzell was seriously wounded, but crawled to the rear to a patrol with valuable information. He ordered that he be left behind and that the patrol return with the information he had obtained. The patrol returned and he, unable to resist by fighting, was later taken prisoner by the advancing enemy.
