The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry Henderson, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Remonville, France, November 1, 1918. When his company was fired upon by a battery of German 77s not more than 300 yards distant, Lieutenant Henderson led his platoon at a run through two machine-gun nests which were defending that flank of the battery and succeeded in capturing the entire battery with the aid of the bayonet.
