The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Ullman C. Hendler, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Courrnont, France, July 30, 1918. Severely wounded in the shoulder early in the attack on the Bois-de-Grimpettes, Captain Hendler, (then First Lieutenant) though he was suffering intense pain, refused to be evacuated but continued to lead his company forward until the entire woods had been captured and the new position consolidated.
