Harold G. Hubbard

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harold G. Hubbard, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ypres, Belgium, August 23, 1918. During a heavy hostile bombardment, Sergeant Hubbard voluntarily left his dugout and went through the shell fire to the assistance of his wounded platoon commander. After taking the officer to a partially sheltered position, he ran 400 yards through the barrage to secure a litter and assisted the stretcher bearer in carrying the wounded officer to a dressing station.
