Shug Wilson

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Shug Wilson, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 28, 1918. After his company had taken shelter from a terrific bombardment of shell and machine-gun fire, Private Wilson volunteered and went to the aid of a wounded comrade who was lying 100 yards out on a shell-swept area. He gave first-aid treatment, after which he carried him back to the dressing station.
