General Orders No. No. 27, W.D., 1920
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Gilimo Eromo, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Claires- Chenes Woods, France, October 24, 1918. When his company was held up by heavy machine-gun fire, Private Eromo on his own initiative made a flank attack upon a machine-gun nest, capturing same and forcing one officer, two sergeants, and six privates to surrender. By his act the company was thus enabled to continue in the advance.
