Frank R. Stockton

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank R. Stockton, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Lamusard Farm, near Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October 14, 1918. Private Stockton, while acting as litter bearer, went through deadly artillery and machine-gun fire to the aid of some wounded soldiers, disregarding warnings as to the danger in so doing. After administering first aid to one of the wounded, he carried him toward our lines, and had almost reached a place of safety when he was killed by machine-gun fire, having given proof of the highest devotion to duty, courage, and self-sacrifice.
