Edmund Coolidge '22, first class private, Headquarters Company, 101st Infantry, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in action near Belleau Bois, France, on October 23, 1918. His citation is as follows: "He felt shelter and exposed himself to intense machine gun fire, when he saw a soldier lying wounded in advance of our lines. He reached the wounded man despite the enemy fire, and dragged him back to a place of safety."
Coolidge went to France with an ambulance section in the summer of 1917, and was decorated with the Croix de Guerre for bravery under fire at that time. He enlisted in the 101st infantry in August, 1918, and remained with that unit until, mustered out early this spring.
