Aulbert D. Cox

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Aulbert D. Cox, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Vistofka, Russia, March 3, 1919. Upon learning that two companies of the enemy had worked their way to the rear of the allied lines, Sergeant Cox, a patient in a hospital, voluntarily left his bed, secured a Lewis-gun, and successfully held off the enemy until assistance came up. The daring act of this gallant soldier prevented serious losses from being inflicted on the allied forces.
