Horatio N. Jackson

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Horatio N. Jackson, Major (Medical Corps), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Montfaucon, France, September 26 – 29, 1918. Constantly working in the face of heavy machine-gun and shell fire, Major Jackson was most devoted in his attention to the wounded, always present in the line of advance, directing the administering of first aid, and guiding the work of Utter bearers. He remained on duty until severely wounded by high-explosive shells, when he was obliged to evacuate.
