George J. Klier

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George J. Klier, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Verdun, France, October 11, 1918. While his platoon was being forced back, Private Klier remained to bind up the wounds of a comrade, although he himself was suffering from a painful wound. He then refused to be taken to the rear until all the others had been evacuated.
