The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Arthur M. Hamilton, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Brieulles, France, October 6, 1918. Corporal Hamilton and a comrade, under heavy enemy fire, went to the rescue of wounded lying in advance of our lines and returned to our lines with two wounded American soldiers. In accomplishing this mission they advanced to within 75 yards of the enemy lines, over an area which the enemy raked with their fire.
