John H. Lambert

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John H. Lambert, First Lieutenant (Air Service), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Stenay, France, October 30, 1918. While on a photographic mission in the vicinity of Stenay, his work being seriously interfered with by the fire of a formation of enemy planes, Lieutenant Lambert temporarily discontinued his mission, attacked the formation and dispersed it, destroying one plane and seriously damaging another. He then returned to his objective, completed his mission, and returned with information of great military value.
