Distinguished Service Cross Citation
    Bernard H. Bolt, private, Company K, 28th Infantry. He was a member of a
patrol consisting of an officer and four men, who with great daring entered a
dangerous portion of the enemy trenches, where they surrounded a party nearly
double their own strength, captured a greater number than themselves, drove off
an enemy rescuing party, and made their way back to our lines with four
prisoners, from whom valuable information was obtained. He died from wounds
received in this expedition. Emergency address: Carl Bolt, father, 916 Seneca
Street, South Bethlehem, Pa. Residence at enlistment: 1816 Fifth Avenue,
