Yes. He was once wounded in the thigh by shrapnel and once temporarily blinded by poison gas. He later received the Iron Cross 1st Class and 2nd Class and a wound badge for his service.
Although Hitler was not a Prussian [he was Austrian], he was a decorated warrior who earned his 6 medals in WW1 - they were not just given to him. Hitler was a Corporal, and it was very rare for someone who was not an Officer to receive the Iron Cross First Class. [Interestingly, this Iron Cross was awarded on the recommendation of his officer who just happened to be jewish!] .
