Frank Stillwell

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank Stillwell, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Fleville, France, October 4, 1918. When his section of a platoon had been caught in an enemy barrage and all cannoneers of the platoon had been either killed or wounded, Sergeant Stillwell made repeated trips into the shelled area to remove the wounded. He assumed command of the platoon after the commanding officer had been evacuated and skillfully performed the duties involved therein.
