General Orders No. 46, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to William G. Reynolds, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Etienne, France, October 4, 1918. After Captain Reynolds had been severely wounded by a shell, he managed by a supreme effort to regain sufficient consciousness to acquaint his successor with the necessary information for the continuance of the struggle. His courage, under such great agony, set a most wonderful example for his men.
