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 Albin Lindsten (ASN: 2156105), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company H, 117th Infantry Regiment, 30th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Bellicourt, France, 29 September 1918. Responding to a call for volunteers by his company commander to locate the source of machine-gun fire, which had cut off the headquarters platoon from the rest of the company, Private Lindsten crawled through the barrage, ascertained the position of the guns, and led the platoon to safety. He then crawled back through the barrage, located the rest of the company, and guided the platoon to them.
