Harry W. Pine

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harry W. Pine, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Haumont, France. Lieutenant Pine led a patrol of eight men in an attempt to gain entrance into the town of Haumont, which was stubbornly held by the enemy. Working his way through the rear outposts, he encountered an enemy patrol near the entrance, attacking and defeating it. He then proceeded through the entire town, capturing and returning with two prisoners, as well as obtaining valuable information.
