Arthur L. Stuckrad

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Arthur L. Stuckrad, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Gesnes, France, October 5, 1918. With two other soldiers, Corporal Struckrad advanced ahead of their company and rushed an enemy machine-gun nest from the flank, capturing fourteen members of the crew and two machine-guns, and thereby enabling the advance to continue. Carrying the captured guns with them to the objective, they later used them successfully in repelling a hostile counterattack.
