Lawrence T. Mcgee

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lawrence T. McGee, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Fismes, France, August 12, 1918. Seeing a wounded soldier in an ambulance which had broken down while crossing a small bridge, in plain view of the enemy and under heavy artillery fire, Private McGee went to his rescue, and, assisted by another soldier, carried out the wounded man under intense shell fire one-and-one-half miles to a dressing station.
