The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private First Class Wilfred Lloyd (ASN: 275108), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company L, 127th Infantry Regiment, 32d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Fismes, France, 4 August 1918. Wounded while advancing under machine-gun fire, he showed highest devotion to duty by returning to his company as soon as he had obtained first-aid treatment. He crawled to a road, secured a pistol to replace the one he had lost when he was wounded, and joined a group which attacked a machine-gun nest, capturing the position and the machine gun.
