Milo E. Terry

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Milo E. Terry, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Montfaucon, France, September 26 – 30, 1918. Although severely wounded while leading his company in the assault, Captain Terry refused to be evacuated and courageously continued in command of his company for four days in action under heavy fire of all arms and constantly in contact with the enemy. On September 30 he was again severely wounded, but remained with his company until evacuated in a delirious condition after the company’s relief had been completed. By his intrepid conduct and disregard of personal danger he inspired the men of his company and contributed greatly to the success of the operation.
