Archie Cinamon
Home Town: Rodgersville, TN
General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Archie Cinamon, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918. Private Cinamon, a runner, carried many messages under heavy fire. At one time when his platoon was held up by machine-gun fire he, with another soldier, refused to take cover, but delivered effective rifle fire until the machine gun was silenced, thereby enabling his platoon to continue its advance.
