Isaac M. Newton

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Isaac M. Newton, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918. With another soldier, Corporal Newton attacked and destroyed two enemy machine-gun posts, 200 yards in advance of our fines. While the other soldier stood guard at the entrance of a dugout, he entered it and brought out 75 German soldiers and three officers, who were taken back to our lines as prisoners.
