James E. Stone

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to James E. Stone, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Nantillois, France, September 29 to October 1, 1918. While on duty at the ambulance dressing station Sergeant Stone heard the report that there were several wounded men on a wooded hill exposed to enemy machine-gun fire. He volunteered and brought the wounded men in, which necessitated several trips under heavy fire. On many more occasions during the fighting around Montfaucon he exposed himself to the enemy fire in rescuing the wounded.
