Ray H. Humphrey

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Ray H. Humphrey, Captain (Medical Corps), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois-de-Septsarges, France, October 4, 1918. Having just been transferred to the 130th Infantry, Major Humphreys (then Captain) was seriously wounded in the head while on his way to take up his work at the regimental aid post. He, nevertheless, refused to be evacuated, but continued on duty caring for the wounded at this place. He later proceeded under severe artillery fire to the battalion aid post, where he continued his work under most trying conditions.
