James C. Hix

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to James C. Hix, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Roncheres, France, July 30, 1918. With another soldier, Private Hix volunteered to go out in advance of our lines to rescue wounded soldiers who had been left there when the company withdrew. Under heavy fire, they made two trips, bringing back wounded men. Private Hix was wounded by machine-gun fire, when he went out for the third time.
