Hylory Julewicz

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Hylory Julewicz, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Juvin, France, October 17, 1918. After the first-line positions in front of Champigneulles, France were abandoned, Private Julewicz’s company commander discovered that important papers, messages, and maps which could give information to the enemy had been left in the old front line. Private Julewicz, without announcing his purpose, at risk of life or capture, crossed 500 yards of machine-gun and shell-swept ground in full view of the enemy and recovered the papers.
