    award rationale
    The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Captain (Infantry) Edward Brooke Lee, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 115th Infantry Regiment, 29th Division, A.E.F., near Balschwiller, Alsace, 31 August 1918. While in command of a raiding party against the enemy trenches near Balschwiller on the morning of 31 August 1918, Captain Lee led the advance through the enemy wire, being the last to quit the enemy trenches, personally assisting in carrying the wounded back through the enemy counter-barrage, and remaining all day of August 31 in a shell hole in no man's land in order to assist all wounded to return to our line.
