Zoda D. Lumley

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Zoda D. Lumley, Captain (Medical Corps), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the St. Mihiel offensive, September 14, and near Baalon, France, November 10 – 11, 1918. In the St. Mihiel offensive, Captain Lumley showed marked personal courage, advancing his first-aid station with the front line. Near Baalon, he maintained a dressing station far to the front, under terrific artillery and machine-gun fire, showing absolute indifference to personal safety that he might aid the men on the firing line during heavy gas bombardments.
