Earl M. Curnow
Home Town: Detroit, MI
General Orders No. No. 139, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Earl M. Curnow, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, north of Soissons, France, August 29 to September 2, 1918. Though he had been severely gassed, Corporal Curnow remained with his company while it was in the front line. When it was in support, he aided in carrying wounded across an area covered by machine-gun and artillery fire. Although this work was not required of him, he volunteered for it in spite of the danger and his own physical condition.
