The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Isadore Solomon, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sommauthe, France, November 4, 1918. When a friendly airplane had dropped a message in front of our line Sergeant Solomon, disregarding personal safety, exposed himself to heavy machine-gun fire in order to go out and recover the message. The information thus obtained was of vital importance for the successful continuance of the advance.
