Alexander Campbell

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Alexander Campbell, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Rembercourt, France, September 23, 1918. A shell landed in an observation post occupied by Sergeant Campbell and two other soldiers, seriously wounding all three. Though he himself had been struck in seven places, this soldier placed both his companions under shelter and then walked through the barrage to company headquarters where he sent stretcher bearers to the assistance of his wounded comrades, before securing first aid for himself.
