Earned Distinguished Service Cross "For extraordinary heroism
in action near Montbrehain, France, October 7, 1918. When his
company was held up by sweeping machine gun fire, Lieut. Ellis
rushed forward alone, in the face of direct machine gun fire, to an
enemy machine gun nest 60 yards in advance of his platoon, and by
the effective use of his pistol killed 5 of the enemy and captured 26
prisoners, together with the machine gun. Although he had been
seriously wounded in two places while advancing, he held the position
until his platoon came up (Murphy, Elmer A., and Robert S. Thomas.

(Listed in brother Arthur Milburn's 1929 obituary as a major at Fort Monroe, NC.
He not listed as a

in Dan Ellis

erroneous
listing of brother Daniel M. Ellis, and that there was no Benjamin Ellis.
If I am wrong, please advise.)
