The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred L. Glassbrenner, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918. Private Glassbrenner was advancing with the one-pounder gun section when he was wounded in the leg by a machine-gun bullet and was urged to go to the rear. He, nevertheless, continued to advance and was later killed upon leaving a sheltered position to go to the assistance of another wounded soldier.
