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 Albert D. Seibel (ASN: 488697), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Medical Detachment, 55th Infantry Regiment (Attached), 7th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Jaulny, France, 8 November 1918. When an officer and part of one platoon had been cut off from the company, Private Seibel made two attempts to find them, going through a heavy barrage. He was successful the second time, and administered first aid to the wounded officer while under a heavy shell and machine-gun fire.
