General Orders No. No. 128, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Wilfred Lloyd, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Fismes, France, August 4, 1918. Wounded while advancing under machine- gun fire, he showed highest devotion to duty by returning to his company as soon as he had obtained first-aid treatment. He crawled to a road, secured a pistol to replace the one he had lost when he was wounded, and joined a group which attacked a machine-gun nest, capturing the position and the machine gun.
