Luther J. Hagan

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Luther J. Hagan, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918. When his squad was held up by fire from a sniper’s post, he advanced alone against it across an open space and drove the others off, allowing a renewal of the advance. Later he braved heavy shell fire to go to the aid of wounded soldiers, dressing their wounds and assisting them back to the lines.
