Henry Bateman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry Bateman, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Pierremont, France, November 4, 1918. After passing through a heavily bombarded area, Corporal Bateman learned that a soldier of his platoon had been wounded and had fallen in the shelled area. He at once volunteered and went back for him, assisted in bringing him to a place of safety, and later helped to carry him through another shelled area to the first-aid station.
