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 Captain (Medical Corps) Zoda D. Lumley, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 357th Infantry Regiment (Attached), 90th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in the St. Mihiel offensive, 14 September and near Baalon, France, 10 – 11 November 1918. In the St. Mihiel offensive, Captain Lumley showed marked personal courage, advancing his first-aid station with the front line. Near Baalon, he maintained a dressing station far to the front, under terrific artillery and machine-gun fire, showing absolute indifference to personal safety that he might aid the men on the firing line during heavy gas bombardments.
