Wilfred Seeler
Home Town: Detroit, MI
General Orders No. No. 117, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Wilfred Seeler, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action southwest of Fismes, France, August 5, 1918. During the forward movement of the first battalion, 125th Infantry, a large number of the company to which he was attached were wounded while crossing an open field. At this point the artillery fire was accurate and intense, but Private First Class Seeler disregarded all possibilities of personal injuries and remained upon the field until he had administered first aid to all his fallen comrades.
