James R. Mansfield

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to James R. Mansfield, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Montfaucon, France, September 29, 1918. Administering first aid in a most exposed position, Sergeant Mansfield rendered most valuable assistance not only to casualties from his own command, but also to those from other organizations. He continued with his work, although wounded, and refused to leave for the rear until ordered to do so by his commanding officer.
