The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry Christiansen, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Saulx, France, September 25 – 26, 1918. Lieutenant Christensen established and operated a dressing station in an advanced position under constant heavy bombardment by the enemy. When word was received that our troops were withdrawing and permission had been given to move his station to a safer position he declined to withdraw, but continued his work of ministering to the wounded.
