Hull F. Lawrence

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Hull F. Lawrence, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, October 23, 1918. While his company was seeking shelter from a continuous rain of machine-gun bullets, Private Lawrence voluntarily carried messages from his company commander, who was lying wounded under enemy observation, to battalion headquarters. He worked under heavy bombardment at all times, but showed remarkable courage and devotion to duty while thus engaged.
