War service[edit]

Krotoshinsky undertook initial training at Camp Upton, where he enjoyed his time in the Army. Shortly after his arrival in France, the 77th division was sent to relieve the 42nd Infantry Division in the Lorraine, where the German Army sent up a welcome balloon which said 'Goodbye, Forty-Second! Hello, Seventy-Seventh!.^[2] Shortly thereafter, the 77th was moved to near Chateau Thierry, where it would part of the drive against Germany. Krotoshinsky passed a message, which led him to help rescue the trapped company. During this trip, he played dead and his hand was stepped on by a German officer. After the action he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by General Pershing.
