Felix R. Holmes

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Felix R. Holmes, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Consenvoye, France, October 11, 1918. After being wounded and ordered to the aid station, Captain Holmes reported to his regimental headquarters, giving a detailed report of the forward conditions. His strength failing, while attempting to reach the aid station alone, he was assisted to the place, had his wounds dressed, and was tagged for evacuation, but instead returned to the front line, through intense shell, machine-gun and sniper fire, and took command of his company.
