Thomas P. O’Hagan

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Thomas P. O’Hagan, First Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October 14 – 15, 1918. After successfully conducting a raiding patrol and returning safely to his lines, Sergeant O’Hagan immediately went back to the scene and, exposed to unusual machine-gun and artillery fire, searched for and carried to safety a wounded man who was lying 100 yards from the enemy’s wire. On the following day he carried a severely wounded comrade to safety across an open field, in spite of the terrific and especially directed machine-gun fire.
