General Orders No. 21, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank Schulz, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bazoches, France, August 25 – 26, 1918. Private Schulz and another soldier had become separated and were forced to take shelter for five and a half days. He rescued a wounded comrade from exposure to machine-gun and shell fire and later attacked a machine-gun nest in his direct front. In the attack he killed two of the enemy with hand grenades and subsequently returned to our lines, assisting the wounded comrade to safety.
