General Orders No. 20, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Ray Henry, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cierges, south of Fismes, France, July 31, 1918. In the advance up the hill of Les Jumbles Woods, in the face of a heavy machine-gun and artillery barrage, he was wounded in the shoulder, but he nevertheless continued to advance. Being unable to use his rifle, he threw it down, drew his pistol, and led his platoon forward until he received six more bullet wounds.
