Otto Carsten Jensen

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Otto Carsten Jensen, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Juvin, France, November 1, 1918. When his company had suffered heavy casualties and had been withdrawn, Private Jensen went out with another soldier in advance of our lines, under machine-gun fire, to rescue the wounded. In attempting this hazardous mission, he was seriously wounded.
