General Orders No. 32, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank Helikson, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at St. Eugene, France, July 15, 1918. Being on duty as a messenger between battalion headquarters and the battery positions when the roads were under heavy bombardment of gas and high explosive shells, Private Helikson continued to make trips until his foot was shattered. Even after receiving this wound, he completed the mission upon which he was then engaged before seeking medical treatment.
