Milton C. Sundin

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Milton C. Sundin, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the St. Mihiel salient, France, September 12 – 13, 1918. Private Sundin, while advancing through wooded territory with four other men, was surprised by the fire of six machine- guns. Though two of the party were wounded, Private Sundin, with great daring, worked around the flank of the position and succeeded in routing the enemy machine-gunners in time to permit the advance without casualties of two platoons operating near by.
