Harold S. Clark
Home Town: Ware, MA
General Orders No. No. 15, W.D., 1923
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harold S. Clark, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Belleau and Girvy, France, July 18 – 21, 1918. While a member of the medical detachment, Private Clark exhibited rare courage and devotion to duty, repeatedly exposing himself to a concentration of hostile machine-gun fire while applying first aid and carrying wounded men from the front lines to the dressing stations. His complete disregard for his own safety and his devotion to his comrades greatly inspired the men of his battalion.
