The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles C. Page, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Souplet, France, October 15, 1918: Private Page was sent ahead with a scout patrol of six men, when they were suddenly fired upon. One of their number was killed and four others, including Private Page, were wounded. With one leg blown off and the other hanging by a fragment of flesh, he stimulated the greatest confidence in his companions by his words of encouragement while being placed on a stretcher. He died from the effects of his wounds shortly after reaching the hospital.
