The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lee S. Eads, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Regnieville, France, September 15 – 17, 1918. Prompted by his great devotion to duty Captain Eads preferred to remain on duty with a detachment of his company organized as a carrying party, desiring to see that his detail performed the work assigned to them to the very utmost. While thus engaged he received severe wounds, which proved to be the cause of his death.
