Albert C. Meyer

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Albert C. Meyer, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Juvin, France, October 11, 1918. After his platoon had suffered heavy casualties through the devastating fire, Sergeant Meyer, although suffering from a wound, reorganized the remnants of the platoon and continued the advance. He was again wounded, but refused evacuation. He insisted on remaining with and cheering the men, until struck the third time when he fell mortally wounded.
