All three outlets describe the same incident involving William Sawelson, a soldier serving with the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during World War I. According to the accounts, Sawelson comes under intense machine-gun fire while a comrade is wounded and in need of water. The reports say that despite the danger, Sawelson crawls through mud during the attack to reach the wounded soldier and bring him a canteen of water. The emphasis across the sources is on how the soldier’s actions occur under direct, ongoing fire and are framed as a life-or-death moment centered on the water he delivers. While the articles provide limited broader context beyond the episode itself, they consistently recount the same core sequence: machine-gun fire, a wounded soldier’s need, and Sawelson’s crawl through mud to deliver water. The outlets align on the main details of what happens and the immediate stakes of the act.
