Patrick J. Carroll

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Patrick J. Carroll, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bazouches, France, August 15, 1918. Corporal Carroll led a patrol of five men to the rescue of his company commander, who was lying concealed within twenty yards of an enemy’s machine-gun nest. He advanced through the intense machine-gun fire to the enemy’s position, and, although wounded in nine places, returned to our lines with important information.
