General Orders 66, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles M. Fox, Captain (Medical Corps), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bantheville, France, October 26, 1918. Although he was suffering from the effects of gas, Captain Fox maintained his battalion dressing station under a terrific bombardment of gas and high explosive shells, which had almost demolished his station, continuing to care for the wounded and refusing to be evacuated until blindness rendered him unable to work.
