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 Henry L. Jones (ASN: 1253832), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Battery D, 109th Field Artillery, 28th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near La Chene Tondu, France, 4 October 1918. Corporal Jones left an observation post and, exposing himself to intense artillery and machinegun fire, dressed the wounds of an officer who had fallen in the open; then, with the aid of another soldier, he carried the wounded officer to a dressing station. His action saved the life of the officer.
