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 Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Terrell Winfred Hill, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 312th Infantry Regiment, 78th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Grand Pre, France, 23 October 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.
