General Orders 87, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward N. Leiboult, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Juvin, France, October 11, 1918. Under terrific fire, he led his platoon across the Aire River, formed them on ground devoid of cover; and, though he had suffered 50 per cent casualties, led the survivors in a charge against the enemy, falling mortally wounded at the head of his men.
