General Orders No. 15, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Donald Miner, Major (Medical Corps), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Ormont Farm, France, October 10, 1918. Major Miner voluntarily proceeded under heavy shell fire to an advanced aid station. For four hours he worked unceasingly aiding the wounded and evacuating them. Finding that he could work more effectively without his gas mask, he discarded it, so that it would not hinder him in attending wounded men.
