Fiorentino Nuzzolo

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fiorentino Nuzzolo, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Argonne Forest, France, October 4, 1918. When his commanding officer had been severely wounded while making a personal reconnaissance of the front lines, Private Nuzzolo, together with a comrade, voluntarily left shelter and went out under heavy machine-gun fire to assist him. Locating him, first aid was administered and he was carried to a place of comparative safety from which he could be evacuated.
