Jesse M. Grisham
Home Town: Holland, AR
General Orders No. No. 129, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Jesse M. Grisham, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Fey-en-Haye, France, September 12, 1918. When the advance of his company was halted by an impassable barbed-wire entanglement, Corporal Grisham voluntarily jumped out of a trench in the face of heavy machine-gun fire and cut sufficient paths through the wire to enable the company to continue its advance. In the performance of this self- sacrificing act this gallant soldier was killed.
