Alfred M. Barlow

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Alfred M. Barlow, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Hearne, Belgium, November 3, 1918. Although suffering from a painful shrapnel wound in the leg, First Lieutenant Barlow led his company, with excellent leadership and command, over the river, and not until he had received wounds in both legs would he give his consent to be taken to a dressing station.
