Lawrence A. Wygal

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lawrence A. Wygal, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Rembercourt, France, November 1, 1918. Private Wygal went forward to the aid of a wounded comrade, who was lying about 125 feet in front of the enemy’s firing line. Under direct fire of rifles, machine-guns, and artillery, he applied first aid and took the man back into our trenches to a place of safety.
