Henry K. Dye, Corporal, Company D, 126th Infantry.
For extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, France, August 29, 1918.
After an advance through heavy machine-gun fire, from which his organization had suffered many casualties and he himself had been twice wounded, Corporal Dye had taken refuge in a shell hole, when he heard the cries of a wounded comrade who was lying in an exposed position. Disregarding the intense machine-gun fire, he crossed an open space, dressed the wounds of his comrade, and carried him to shelter.
Residence at enlistment: Walworth, Nebraska.
