Hubert C. Paul

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Hubert C. Paul, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Kadish, Russia, September 27 – 28, 1918, while acting as stretcher bearer to two companies of infantry in action against the Bolsheviks. Private Paul for 2 days and nights made his way through swamps and forests to administer first aid and carry wounded to the dressing station. His work at all times was accomplished under sweeping machine gun and intense artillery fire, making it necessary for him to crawl on his hands and knees for long distances.
