John Pratt

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John Pratt, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cheveuges, France, November 7, 1918. While engaged as a runner, Corporal Pratt saw two comrades lying wounded several hundred yards away. Despite the fact that the vicinity was being heavily shelled, he crawled out across the open field and administered first aid to both men, after which he carried them, one at a time, back to a dressing station.
