General Orders No. No. 127, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to James S. Adams, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Mon Plaisir Farm, north of Thiaucourt, France, September 22, 1918. Disregarding his own personal safety, Private Adams went to an open field, swept by heavy machine-gun fire, to the assistance of an officer who had been wounded during the withdrawal of his company from a raid. He bandaged the officer’s wound and carried him to shelter, thereby saving the officer’s life.
