Alexander Zambryski

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Alexander Zambryski, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Mousson, France, November 7, 1918. While making a reconnaissance of a destroyed bridge, over the River Meuse, a member of the patrol had his leg broken by machine-gun fire and fell into the river. Despite the fact that four enemy machine-guns were firing point blank on the spot, at a distance of less than 100 yards, Private Zambryski volunteered and went to the rescue of his comrade and succeeded single-handed in recovering his comrade while under severe fire, and taking him to a place of safety.
