Fred E. Cullen

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred E. Cullen, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bazoches, France, August 7, 1918. When two American soldiers attempted to cross an open space and were fired upon by enemy machine gun, one of the soldiers fell wounded, and the enemy concentrated their fire upon the fallen man. Under enemy machine-gun fire Corporal Cullen rushed forward 75 yards and in spite of the heavy fire carried his wounded comrade to a place of safety.
