Terrell Winfred Hill

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Terrell Winfred Hill, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, October 23, 1918. His company commander being wounded, Lieutenant Hill assumed command of the company and led it gallantly forward in the attack. Due to the intensity of the enemy fire, the advance was halted, but this officer continued to expose himself in order to place his men in a position of shelter. In the performance of this act he was himself wounded in the right arm but continued in active command of the company until relieved the following day.
