Fred C. Stein

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred C. Stein, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Romagne, France, October 9, 1918. Corporal Stein charged and captured a strong enemy machine- gun neat and immediately turned the gun on the enemy. He was twice wounded while changing the position of the gun, but continued to operate it under heavy shell and machine-gun fire until he received a third wound in the arm, which made it impossible for him to further operate the gun.
