Thomas Bregger

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Thomas Bregger, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near La Tulerie Farm, France, July 22 and near Le Channel, France, July 25, 1918. Private Bregger displayed exceptional courage while caring for the wounded soldiers of his battalion while under intense machine-gun and artillery fire. His efforts were unceasing, for a long period he was the only hospital corps man on duty, and when the battalion was relieved he voluntarily remained on duty, staying with the wounded throughout the night under the severe artillery fire.
