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 Arthur Johnson (ASN: 2463695), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Headquarters Company, 370th Infantry Regiment, 93d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Mont des Singes, France, 30 September 1918. Acting as ammunition carrier, Private Johnson received a painful injury in the back from a shell fragment. While engaged in carrying ammunition he found a wounded man in an exposed position and, regardless of his own wound, carried the man under heavy shell fire to the first-aid station, a distance of more than a kilometer, returning to his work immediately afterwards.
