Sam Bloomberg

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Sam Bloomberg, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, October 18 – 23, 1918. During the period of five days that his company was occupying an advanced and isolated position, Private Bloomberg volunteered and carried messages to his company headquarters after seeing two other runners wounded in the attempt to cross through the sweeping barrage. He was at all times under constant fire and observation of enemy machine gunners, but he succeeded in establishing liaison during the entire operations.
