General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Oliver Anderson, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Steenbrugge, Belgium, October 31, 1918. Sergeant Anderson, with two other soldiers, attacked a strong machine-gun position from which a destructive fire had been poured into his platoon and the platoon of the flank company, wounding his lieutenant, the platoon sergeant, and many others. They drove the machine gunners from the position, thereby enabling the line to continue the advance.
