Eric Queen Posted October 6, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2016 There doesn't seem to be much interest in these photos but thought I would show a couple more for the heck of it. Quite a feat by Corp. Wollert WOLLERT, EDWARD J.Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps79th Company, 6th Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, A.E.F.Date of Action: September 15, 1918Citation:The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward J. Wollert, Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving with the 79th Company, 6th Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, A.E.F. in action near Thiaucourt, France, September 15, 1918. At the risk of his life, Corporal Wollert went to the aid of a wounded officer who was a prisoner in the hands of six Germans. With his pistol he shot two of them, while the officer killed two others. He captured the two remaining Germans and forced them to carry the wounded officer back to our lines.

warguy Posted October 6, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 6, 2016 Another fantastic image Eric, thanks for sharing! I never tire of seeing WWI Marines in uniform with their star Indianhead logo. Ones wearing the DSC are just an added bonus. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
