Claud P. Hale

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Claud P. Hale, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Remonville, France, November 1, 1918. Braving the deadly machine-gun and artillery fire, he worked unceasingly, and with no regard for his personal safety in administering to wounded men and assisting them to places of safety. He constantly went forward into the open under machine-gun fire to aid fallen comrades, and his work was the means of saving many lives.
