Emanuel Sustick

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Emanuel Sustick, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-de- la Naza, France, October 4, 1918. Sergeant Sustick volunteered to advance through thick brush subjected to a heavy machine-gun fire to a point within a few yards of enemy emplacements in order to observe the effects of our trench mortars on machine-gun nests. He made his observations successfully, though exposed alike to enemy fire and our own barrage.
