Henry L. Jones

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry L. Jones, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near La Chene Tondu, France, October 4, 1918. Corporal Jones left an observation post and, exposing himself to intense artillery and machinegun fire, dressed the wounds of an officer who had fallen in the open; then, with the aid of another soldier, he carried the wounded officer to a dressing station. His action saved the life of the officer.
