Carl F. Turkopp

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Carl F. Turkopp, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Brabant-sur-Meuse, France, October 23, 1918. During the offensive operations in the Boissois Bois, Corporal Turkopp, although wounded by shell fire and knocked down by concussion, returned to his gun and continued to fire. So great was his exhaustion, that it was necessary for him to be supported while doing his work.
