General Orders No. 44, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Isaac Goldstein, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Talma Farm, France, October 19, 1918. Disregarding the warning that to leave shelter meant almost certain death, Private Goldstein went to the aid of a wounded comrade through an open field exposed to murderous artillery and machine-gun fire. Bringing his comrade back to safety, he took a message from the wounded man’s pocket and delivered it to its destination. Under cover of darkness he carried his comrade to a first-aid station.
