Chester D. Nevins

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Chester D. Nevins, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sergy, France, July 28, 1918. Crossing five hundred yards of ground swept by intense machine-gun and artillery fire, he went to the rescue of a wounded soldier. He carried the wounded man back to our lines, inspiring by his example all who saw his heroic act.
