General Orders 98, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lloyd H. Cook, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois Claires- Chenes, France, October 20, 1918. After marching all night to his company’s position for the initial attack, Captain Cook personally led the advance upon the enemy, inspiring his men by his bravery and determination, frequently going ahead of his company to reconnoiter its position. Even after being wounded in the leg by machine-gun fire, he continued forward until he received two more wounds.
