Albin Lindsten

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Albin Lindsten, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918. Responding to a call for volunteers by his company commander to locate the source of machine-gun fire, which had cut off the headquarters platoon from the rest of the company, Private Lindsten crawled through the barrage, ascertained the position of the guns, and led the platoon to safety. He then crawled back through the barrage, located the rest of the company, and guided the platoon to them.
