Joseph P. Woodville

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joseph P. Woodville, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Bois-de-Consenvoye, France, October 15, 1918. Private Woodville remained at his gun until the position was destroyed, the other gun sentry killed, and he himself wounded. He refused first aid until the bombardment had lifted and kept up the morale of the other members of his section by his heroism and cheerfulness.
