Arthur Krueger

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Arthur Krueger, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Consenvoye, France, October 9, 1918. While his platoon was halted by murderous fire of the enemy, Private Krueger crawled from a shell hole, in which he was seeking shelter, and made his way forward to the aid of a wounded comrade. On the way, he was wounded, but bravely continued on, until he had dressed the wounds of his comrade. He then insisted on walking to the dressing station for treatment of his own wounds.
