Distinguished Service Cross Citation
  Jack W. Milner, sergeant, Company H, 167th Infantry. For extraordinary heroism
in action near Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October 15, 1918. After his
company had sustained heavy losses in a severe engagement with the enemy, and he
himself had been seriously wounded, he, realizing that he was the only sergeant
left in the company, refused to be evacuated and remained on duty for 12 hours,
reorganizing his company under heavy enemy artillery and machine-gun fire,
thereby showing entire disregard for danger and setting an excellent example of
courage and heroism under fire to his men. Residence at enlistment: Alexander
City, Ala.
