World War I
General Orders 66, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Herbert H. Miller, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Bois-de-Barricourt, France, November 2, 1918. Continuing forward alone, after all the other members of his combat group had been killed or wounded, Sergeant Miller penetrated the enemy’s lines, despite machine-gun and rifle fire, located a machine-gun nest, which was holding up the advance of his platoon, and put it out of action by effective rifle fire.
