Dudley R. Gibbs

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Dudley R. Gibbs, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Fleville, France, October 28, 1918. Acting as courier, Private Gibbs was riding through an intense shelling and, stopping at a cry of help, observed two members of his organization lying in the road. Going to their aid, he found that one man was already dead and the other seriously wounded. He administered aid under most harassing conditions, and assisted in his removal to a dressing station.
