Congressional Medal Of Honor Citation
  Archie A. Peck, private, Company A, 307th Infantry, 77th Division. For
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in
action with the enemy in the Argonne Forest, France, October 6, 1918. While
engaged with two other soldiers on patrol duty he and his comrades were
subjected to the direct fire of an enemy machine gun, at which time both his
companions were wounded. Returning to his company, he obtained another soldier
to accompany him to assist in bringing in the wounded men. His assistant was
lulled in the exploit, but he continued on, twice returning, and safely bringing
in both men, being under terrific machine-gun fire during the entire journey.
Residence at enlistment: 445 Division Street, Hornell, N. Y.
