Seth E. Perry

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Seth E. Perry, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918. When a portion of his company was threatened with a counterattack and he had seen one runner killed in an attempt to reach them from company headquarters with orders to fall back, he volunteered for the dangerous mission. While crossing an open field under heavy fire, he was mortally wounded.
