The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private Frank J. Cohen (ASN: 1249864), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Headquarters Company, 107th Field Artillery, 28th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Baslieux, France, 5 September 1918. On duty with an officer at an observation post far in advance of the Infantry line, he exposed himself to heavy machine-gun fire to obtain stretcher and bandages when the officer was hit by a machine-gun bullet. The officer’s wound having proved fatal, Private Cohen, the following day, volunteered to go out and assist in bringing back the body, being constantly subjected to enemy fire.
