The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles B. Reeve, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Etienne, France, October 3 – 9, 1918. After his battalion commander had become a casualty, Lieutenant Reeve assumed command, and showed exceptional dash and skill in attack. When his battalion had been halted by heavy machine-gun fire, he commanded and led a charge through an open field, gaining his objective. It was during this charge that he was killed.
