Henry E. Zax

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry E. Zax, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Vaux Andigny, France, October 11, 1918. Having been sent on a dangerous liaison patrol, Corporal Zax was severely wounded soon after he had located the unit on the right of his own. He, nevertheless, went forward to battalion headquarters immediately after securing first aid and made a complete report to his battalion commander before going to the rear.
