Arthur G. Mayger

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Arthur G. Mayger, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Exermont, France, October 6, 1918. After his company had been forced to fall back because of heavy losses, and his company commander had been seriously wounded, Lieutenant Mayger reorganized the remainder of the company, and, under intense shell and machine- gun fire, led it in a successful attack on a machine-gun position, which had been causing many casualties in the battalion.
