General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Norman E. Edwards, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Eclisfontaine, France, September 28, 1918. Going forward alone and in the open 100 yards in front of his company, Corporal Edwards fired a rifle grenade into a machine-gun nest. The fire of the machine guns immediately slackened, and when they were captured it was found that only three of the enemy remained to man four guns.
