Hugh Weatherman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Hugh Weatherman, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Mandres, France, March 1, 1918. During a heavy enemy bombardment of gas and high explosive shells, Private Weatherman left shelter for the purpose of putting gas masks on his horses; and, while so doing, was mortally wounded by a shell fragment. Realizing the character of his wound, he refused medical attention, urging the medical corps men to assist other wounded men who could be saved.
