Glenn M. Grove

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Glenn M. Grove, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Nantillois, France, September 26, 1918. Sergeant Grove, with two officers, using captured German Maxim guns, pushed forward to a heavily shelled area from which the other troops had withdrawn, and by their accurate and effective fire kept groups of the enemy from occupying advantageous positions. When given permission to withdraw, Sergeant Grove declined to o so, but maintained fire superiority all afternoon until it became too dark to see. His conspicuous gallantry furnished an inspiration to the other members of the command.
