The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank I. Fox, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at St. Gilles, near Fismes, France, August 4, 1918. Corporal Fox, with other soldiers, made frequent trips to maintain telephone communication between battalion and regimental headquarters during a destructive bombardment. All other lines had been destroyed, arid as this line was used by both Infantry and Artillery for communication with the rear, it was of utmost importance that it be maintained.
