General Orders 70, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Alabel Blumenthal, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cierges, France, August 2, 1918. As Private Blumenthal was dressing wounded men and carrying them into shell holes for protection, a heavy barrage was put down in the field where he was working but he nevertheless refused to seek cover, ministering to the wounded and reassuring them, until he was mortally wounded by a bursting shell.
