Distinguished Service Cross Citation
   Frank R. Stockton, private, Company E, 167th Infantry. For extraordinary
heroism in action at Lamusard Farm, near Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October
14, 1918. This soldier, while acting as litter bearer, went through deadly
artillery and machine-gun fire to the aid of some wounded soldiers, disregarding
warnings as to the danger in so doing. After administering first aid to one of
the wounded, he carried him toward our lines, and had almost reached a place of
safety when he was killed by machine-gun fire, having given proof of the highest
devotion to duty, courage, and self-sacrifice. Emergency address: Rev. J. A. A.
Stockton, father, New Decatur, Ala. Residence at enlistment: New Decatur, Ala.
