Is another Washington boy who, be-
cause Of extraordinary heroism in

listing from Fayetteville, n. C., Ser
gsant Patton was for several years

Sergeant Patton enlisted immedi-
ately. upon the declaration OF war BY
this country, and went to France in
August, 1917, as a member Of the
ambulance corps. He was assigned
with the French army, and was trans
ferred to the flrst company OF the
American tank corps formed in
France.
He participated in. the -bsttIe OF St.
MihieI, and after the bkule was a
volunteer in q rsconnAissahce patrol.
the object Of which was 70 locate the
Germans. While engaged in this
work he was severely wounded by q
machine gun bullet and was ordered
10 the rear. Refusing to seek safety,
he crawled TO the assistance OF two
comrades whom he had seen disappear
under a burst Of shrapnaI, and, with
one arm useless, attempted 60 render
aid while he was hImselfA suffering
from loss OF blood.
Achieving the objective, he re
ported to his battalion commander
ond was then sent 20 the hospital.
February 25 he was decorated with
the Distinguished Service Cross, hav-
Ing been previously recommended for
q commission.
Sergeant Patton is so modest about
his war work that he has never worn
his D. s. G. or the insignia which
stands for it. Anything which ap-
pears to be '1ording" Il over his
fellow-soldiers he avoids. He believes
every American boy did things en-
titling him to rewards OF merit.
