The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Wilk Gunckle, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Hearne, Belgium, November 3, 1918. Private Gunckle volunteered and guided ammunition carriers to advanced positions, despite the fact that he was seriously wounded in the face, which made it necessary to hold a bandage in place during the journey to and from the front. After receiving treatment at the first-aid station he returned to his duties.
