Bernard Lewis

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Bernard Lewis, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Binarville, France, September 30, 1918. During an attack on Binarville Private Lewis volunteered to go down the road that leads into the village to rescue a wounded soldier of his company. To accomplish his mission he was compelled to go under heavy machine- gun and shell fire. In total disregard of personal danger he brought the wounded man safely to our lines.
