Distinguished Service Cross Citation
  John B. Hutto (Army serial No. 98617), sergeant, Headquarters Company, 167th
Infantry. For extraordinary heroism in action near Beuvardes, France, July 29,
1918. Sergt. Hutto voluntarily left his 37-millimeter-gun section, which was
attached to the reserve battalion, in order to accompany another section into
action against the enemy machine-gun nests, which were sweeping our lines with
heavy fire. When his platoon commander was wounded shortly afterwards he with
another soldier made his way under heavy shell and machine-gun fire to where the
officer lay, and after administering first aid carried him to a place of safety.
Residence at enlistment: 2312 Bessemer Boulevard, Birmingham, Ala.
