Marian Kohn

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Marian Kohn, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action during the Argonne-Meuse offensive, France, October 5 – 6, 1918. Seeing his platoon commander and platoon sergeant buried by a shell explosion, Corporal Kohn left his trench, and, in the face of perilous machine-gun and shell fire, single-handed rescued his comrades from the caved-in trench.
