Henry J. Mongeau

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry J. Mongeau, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Seicheprey, France, March 28, 1918. Corporal Mongeau was a member of a patrol consisting of an officer and four men, who, with great daring, entered a dangerous portion of the enemy trenches, where they surrounded a party nearly double their own strength, drove off an enemy rescuing party, and made their way back to our lines with four prisoners, from whom valuable information was taken.
