General Orders No. 126, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Nicholas Manzi, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Jaulny, France, October 3, 1918. During a heavy bombardment of our front lines, Private Manzi went 50 yards in advance of our positions to an automatic-rifle post to dress the wounds of three of the crew. He then assisted the wounded men, one by one, to reach a place of safety. All this time the line was under steady machine-gun fire as well as bombardment.
