Harold Greene

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harold Greene, First Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ronssoy, France, September 29, 1918. When his commanding officer was severely wounded and evacuated, First Sergeant Greene took command of the company and led it into effective combat. He continued to lead the company forward through a terrific fire of artillery and machine-guns for more than a mile after being severely wounded, and refused to be evacuated until he had received a second wound which made it impossible for him to continue further.
