Alfred H. Kuhlman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Alfred H. Kuhlman, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Haumont, France, October 11, 1918. Private Kuhlman, a stretcher bearer, gave proof of great courage and high sense of duty by helping transport a wounded soldier to a dressing station under heavy fire, by which three other stretcher bearers were killed or seriously wounded. Private Kuhlman was himself wounded, but he nevertheless returned to the shell-swept area and assisted in rescuing a wounded officer and six wounded soldiers.
