Thomas Whiteside Wilbur
Home Town: Larchmont, New York
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Thomas Whiteside Wilbur, Secretary, U.S. Civilian, for extraordinary heroism in action near Jaulny, France, September 13 – 15, 1918. Declining to remain in the rear, Mr. Wilbur attached himself to the Medical Department rendering first aid and bringing in wounded, serving at all times in a most valuable manner. He disregarded an order to return to the rear when it seemed that the enemy would launch a counterattack, but remained with the wounded until all were safely evacuated.
