Steve G. Norris

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Steve G. Norris, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Very, France, September 26, 1918. Sergeant Norris voluntarily preceded his company in searching woods for the purpose of locating enemy snipers, who were causing numerous casualties. He also made numerous trips under artillery and machine- gun fire to maintain liaison with adjacent units. When his company was making its first advance under heavy shell fire this soldier, then a corporal, took the place of a rifle sergeant’s section and kept this unit intact during the advance.
