Lloyd Richmond

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lloyd Richmond, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Chaudron Farm, France, September 29, 1918. After the infantry had been withdrawn, Private Richmond voluntarily remained in an advance dressing station with wounded men, whose condition made it impossible to remove them, and worked alone for several hours, caring for these men under heavy shell and machine-gun fire, until he himself was wounded by a bursting shell which killed two of his patients.
