Isaac Estep

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Isaac Estep, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near La-Fontaine- au-Croncq Farm, France, November 4, 1918. Being on duty as stretcher bearer, Private Estep displayed exceptional gallantry and disregard of danger to self in removing wounded from a field swept so by machine-gun fire that the ordinary man would have felt justified in leaving them until the storm had abated. Of the five men engaged in this work, one was killed and Private Estep and one other wounded, while the clothing and equipment of all were riddled by bullets.
