The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Abraham Krotoshinsky, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in Argonne Forest, France, October 6, 1918. Private Krotoshinsky was on liaison duty with a battalion of the 308th Infantry which was surrounded by the enemy north of the Forest De la Buironne in the Argonne Forest. After patrols and runners had been repeatedly shot down while attempting to carry back word of the battalion’s position and condition, Private Krotoshinsky volunteered for the mission and successfully accomplished it.
