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 Corporal Ray Henry (ASN: 262192), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 125th Infantry Regiment, 32d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Cierges, south of Fismes, France, 31 July 1918. In the advance up the hill of Les Jumbles Woods, in the face of a heavy machine-gun and artillery barrage, he was wounded in the shoulder, but he nevertheless continued to advance. Being unable to use his rifle, he threw it down, drew his pistol, and led his platoon forward until he received six more bullet wounds.
