Frank Schuchart

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank Schuchart, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, France, August 30, 1918, and in the Argonne Forest, France, November 8, 1918. During the attack near Juvigny, Private Schuchart, while acting as runner, repeatedly exposed himself to severe enemy artillery and machine-gun fire. After the attack he voluntarily joined in the work of clearing the field of wounded under heavy enemy fire. On November 8, while carrying an important message he was severely wounded in the left leg. He stopped in a shell hole, dressed the wound himself, proceeded to deliver the message and did not report for treatment.
