The President of the United States of America, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Wayne Donald Jones, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving with Company L, 3d Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment (Infantry), 1st Cavalry Division. First Lieutenant Jones distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces in the vicinity of Mago-ri, Korea On that date, Company L was engaged in an attack against a hostile force, firmly entrenched in hill positions. As the company moved forward, it was subjected to a heavy volume of fire from the enemy elements and the attack began to falter. Observing this, Lieutenant Jones, without regard for his personal safety, moved to the advance elements and, shouting words of encouragement to his men, charged directly into the devastating enemy fire. Firing a captured enemy sub-machine gun, Lieutenant Jones single-handedly assaulted two bunkers from which most of the enemy fire originated. Completely demoralized by Lieutenant Jones’ fearless attack, the enemy force withdrew in disorder, leaving fourteen dead in the two bunkers. Inspired by the bravery and personal courage displayed by Lieutenant Jones, the friendly troops renewed their assault, and closing with the enemy in fierce hand-to-hand combat, routing them from the objective with extremely heavy casualties. After he had personally placed his men in the most advantageous defensive positions to guard against an enemy counterattack, Lieutenant Jones then personally supervised the evacuation of the wounded. The extraordinary heroism displayed by First Lieutenant Jones on this occasion reflects the greatest credit on himself and is in keeping with the high traditions of the military service.
