John Teichler

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John Teichler, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Hill 212, near Cierges, northeast of Chateau-Thierry, France, July 31, 1918. Although he was himself severely wounded in the attack on the Bois les Jamblets, Sergeant Teiuchler attempted to carry in another wounded man, passing through severe machine-gun fire from the front and from the flanks. While doing so he received a second wound, which caused his death.
