Andre Simonet

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Andre Simonet, Marechal des Logis, French Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Trieres Farm, France, September 30, 1918. While on duty with the 37th Infantry as interpreter, Marechal de Logis Simonet rendered exceptional service to our forces by assuming command until the second in command could be notified, when the adjutant and commanding officer of the battalion to which he was attached were wounded. At this time he made a voluntary trip to the regimental post of command to report conditions to the battalion.
