Lee M. English

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lee M. English, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Montfaucon, France, September 29, 1918. Although he had received a very painful wound two days previous, Lieutenant English remained on duty at an aid station under heavy shell fire until it was completely destroyed and many of the inmates and attendants killed or wounded. He assisted in caring for these wounded and directing their evacuation and then dressed the wounded on the field until an aid station could be located farther to the rear.
