The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Ernest T. Siebert, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Trugny, France, July 23, 1918. Corporal Siebert voluntarily rescued a wounded soldier who was lying on a shell-swept road, by carrying him 300 yards on his back. Although wounded in the shoulder by a shell fragment, he courageously stuck to his task until it was successfully accomplished. His courageous act was an inspiration to his men.
