Julien Edmund Victor Gaujot

[2] Julien's brother, Antoine Gaujot, received the Medal of Honor for actions on December 19, 1899, as a United States Army corporal at the Battle of Paye near Mateo during the Philippine–American War.

In Douglas, Arizona, stray bullets from fighting among Mexican rebels and government troops caused American casualties.

He moved between the two groups of belligerents for an hour under heavy fire, eventually securing the safe passage of the Mexican government soldiers and American prisoners over the border to the United States.

General Leonard Wood later said in referring to the incident that Julien's action warranted "either a court martial or a Medal of Honor."

COL Gaujot's awards include the Medal of Honor and two campaign stars on his service ribbon for action in two major World War I offensives.
