Earle W. Wilson

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Earle W. Wilson, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sergy, France, July 28, 1918. Showing great personal bravery and contempt of danger at all times during the attack on Hill 212, Sergeant Wilson maneuvered his platoon so skillfully as to capture a machine-gun position with four of its occupants, after which he operated the two enemy guns thus taken against the retreating Germans.
