Terry Nichols Hendricks

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Terry Nichols Hendricks, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Mont Blanc, France, October 4, 1918. During the course of a terrific bombardment by the enemy, which forced the firing battery to take shelter, and when two of the gun crew were seriously wounded, Lieutenant Hendricks voluntarily left cover and, without regard for his own safety, carried the wounded men through heavy fire to a place of safety.
