Elmer H. Lindie

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Elmer H. Lindie, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-de-St. Remy, France, September 12, 1918. Under heavy grenade and rifle fire, Private Lindie crawled forward from shell hole to shell hole, until he reached a flank position of an enemy machine-gun nest, from which point he killed a gunner and caused the rest to surrender to his comrades.
