General Orders No. No. 143, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Henry S. Blomberg, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, north of Soissons, France, August 30, 1918. Inspiring his men by his own personal bravery, Lieutenant Blomberg vigorously led his company forward in the face of heavy machine-gun and artillery fire, capturing the heights overlooking Juvigny, with many prisoners. After reaching the objective he repeatedly exposed himself to hostile fire time after time in reorganizing the line. During the defense of the position won he personally set up and operated a captured German machine gun against the enemy while under terrific fire.
