The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Lieutenant Colonel (Medical Corps) Glenn I. Jones, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility during World War I. While Surgeon of the 10th Division during the epidemic of Spanish influenza in that command, Lieutenant Colonel Jones’ farsightedness in providing hospital facilities and his energetic and exceptionally efficient action in directing the care of patients resulted in a large reduction of mortality. His services show a rare devotion to duty in that, though himself a sufferer from the disease, his efforts were unabated.
