General Orders No. No. 53, W.D., 1920
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Leon A. Dombrowski, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action north of Montfaucon, France, October 4 to 5, 1918. Corporal Dombrowski exposed himself to heavy machine-gun fire in order to crawl out in advance of our lines and drag a severely wounded noncommissioned officer to a near-by shell hole. Later under the cover of darkness he assisted this wounded noncommissioned officer to the first-aid station during an enemy bombardment.
