The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Albert H. McArdle, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action east of Belleau Wood, July 18, 1918. While giving first aid to a wounded soldier who had fallen in a wheat field in range of enemy fire Private McArdle received two machine-gun bullets through the thigh. In spite of his injury he continued at work until the soldier’s wounds had been properly dressed and endeavored to carry him out of danger, but fell exhausted from loss of blood.
