The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Paul A. Seiberling, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Madeleine Farm, France, October 16, 1918. Lieutenant Seiberling, with a comrade, exposed himself to heavy enemy machine-gun fire in crawling forward in advance of our lines to rescue a wounded soldier. The wounded man was lying in a shell hole about 100 yards in advance of our lines. The rescuers were subject to enemy machine-gun fire from the time they left our lines until they returned.
