Distinguished Service Cross Citation
  James Mason Douglass, first lieutenant, 320th Machine Gun Battalion. For
extraordinary heroism in action near St. Juvin, France, October 14, 1918. When
his platoon had become greatly disorganized through many casualties, Lieut.
Douglass, although wounded, reorganized it and led it through hazardous
machine-gun and artillery fire. He remained on duty for several days, during
which time he suffered acutely from his wounds, until ordered to a dressing
station. Residence at appointment: North Highlands, Russellville, Ala.
