The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Sergeant Daniel Lloyd Jones (ASN: 1238903), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Headquarters Company, 110th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Baslieux, France, 6 September 1918. In command of a detachment of signal men in the crossing of the Vesle River, Sergeant Jones was severely gassed while transmitting an important message to the rear. He, however, continued with his message the entire distance to the Regimental Headquarters, where he arrived exhausted and suffering severely from burns and gas inhalation. Although tagged at the dressing station for evacuation, he refused to be evacuated and returned to the front line, later bringing three other men blinded by gas to the rear. Sergeant Jones subsequently died from the injuries received.
