_Mestrovitch, James I, Sergeant_, Co. C, 111th Infantry, 28th Division,
Fresno, Cal.—Fismette, France, Aug. 10, 1918. Seeing his company
commander lying wounded thirty yards in front of the line after his
company had withdrawn to a sheltered position behind a stone wall,
Sergeant Mestrovitch voluntarily left cover and crawled through heavy
machine-gun and shell-fire to where the officer lay. He took the
officer upon his back and crawled back to a place of safety, where he
administered first-aid treatment, his exceptional heroism saving the
officer’s life.
