George W. Langham

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George W. Langham, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, north of Soissons, France, August 29 – September 2, 1918. Though he had been severely gassed, Private Langham remained on duty with his company while it was in the front line. Later, when it was in support, he voluntarily aided in the work of carrying wounded across an area covered by artillery and machine-gun fire.
