Hugh B. Martin

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Hugh B. Martin, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Busigny, France, October 10, 1918. When a battalion of infantry was held up by heavy machine-gun fire, Corporal Martin rushed his section forward to a position 300 yards in advance of our front lines, engaged and silenced the enemy, and allowed a renewal of the advance. He displayed marked personal bravery under terrific enemy fire.
