William A. Munroe

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to William A. Munroe, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sergy, France, July 28 to August 2, 1918. Sergeant Munroe voluntarily left his aid station and went to the field of action to deliver first aid to men in the most advanced positions. He tended the wounded under the most intense machine- gun and shell fire, and successfully carried a large number to places of comparative safety. His courage and cheerfulness under such hazardous circumstances did much to keep up the spirits of both the wounded whom he served and the men fighting in that vicinity.
