George W. Jones

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George W. Jones, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Ravine-de- Bois-de-Caures, France, October 31, 1918. Though himself painfully wounded by a bursting shell when his battery position was heavily bombarded by the enemy, Lieutenant Jones immediately directed the work of rescuing wounded men from demolished dugouts and evacuating them to the rear. Having finished this work he at once reorganized his battery and carried out orders for immediate fire on the enemy.
