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 Lloyd Richmond (ASN: 1472600), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 139th Ambulance Company, 110th Sanitary Train, 35th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Chaudron Farm, France, 29 September 1918. After the infantry had been withdrawn, Private Richmond voluntarily remained in an advance dressing station with wounded men, whose condition made it impossible to remove them, and worked alone for several hours, caring for these men under heavy shell and machine-gun fire, until he himself was wounded by a bursting shell which killed two of his patients.
