Albert W. Klick

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Albert W. Klick, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-de-St. Remy, France, September 12, 1918. With the aid of six comrades, Sergeant Klick attacked and put out of action a machine-gun which was checking the advance of his company. Later he captured, without aid, about 20 prisoners, and, while advancing against another nest, he was twice wounded. Although in severe pain, he declined the use of a litter, walking three kilometers to a dressing station.
