General Orders No. No. 139, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Paul H. Hines, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Marcheville and Riaville, France, September 25 – 26, 1918. Lieutenant Hines showed great bravery and devotion to duty throughout this action. At one time he went through a violent artillery bombardment and machine-gun fire to reestablish broken liaison with battalion on left. Later he voluntarily led a party of first-aid men across an open field swept by machine-gun fire and rescued a wounded officer after several previous attempts had failed.
