General Orders No. No. 15, W.D., 1921
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Jay Le. R. Antes, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Cantigny, France, May 28 – 29, 1918. Private Antes fearlessly exposed himself to barrage and machine-gun fire to perform his duty as a stretcher bearer. In order that the suffering of wounded might be relieved and lives saved, with unselfish heroism he left the security of the trench to go to wounded in a machine-gun emplacement, and while performing this noble duty was killed.
