The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John W. Chase, Corporal, U.S. Army, for repeated acts of extraordinary heroism in action near Jaulgonne, France, July 15, and July 23 – 24, 1918. On July 15 Corporal Chase made two trips through a violent barrage to locate missing comrades. On July 23 he volunteered and found a first-aid station, to which he carried many of the wounded. On July 24, after his company had been relieved, he voluntarily remained behind until all wounded were evacuated, during which time he was exposed to unusual shellfire.
