General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Jack Bennett, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Louppy, France, November 10, 1918. Sergeant Bennett led a patrol in a flank attack on a machine-gun nest which was holding up the advance, and though half of his party was killed or wounded, he succeeded in putting the gun out of action. Coming under the fire of another machine gun, he was forced to take cover till after dark when he returned to our lines, bringing with him the wounded men.
