Cf5 History will record the fact that t \ lieutenant and two sergeants in the Rainbow Division were the first sol*' diers to win the new American deco* .' . ration known as the Disumguisn^f. Service Cross. From the account flfe American soldiers have been giving' of themselves "Over There," tmB|B three men will undoubtedly head la . long list of American soldiers decch rated by their own country, as well M. our allies, for conspicuous bravery. :i Already more than. 100 American diers have received War Crosses or. . Crosses With Palms from the French ? Government. The first three men awarded tonDistinguished Service Cross were Lieutenant John 0. Green, Sergeant,. . William Norton and Sergeant PatrleKn Walsh. ^ . The new bronze cross was awarded the United States, commander-in-chief of the army, for "extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the united States." Jog Lieutenant Green is an artillery officer. He had been wounded by an enemy hand grenade and was lying in a dugout. A party of Germans but- f rounded the dugout and ordered him 'J to surrender. He refused to do 80, c returned the fire of the party, wound- .. ing one member and put the remainder - j to flight. '1 Sergeant Norton, finding himself In jj a. dugout entirely surrounded by Ger- . ; mans who were 'hurling grenades at him, refused to surrender and made- . a bold dash outside, killing a German ? lieutenant and two soldiers. He saved ? the company's logbook, containing ? | considerable valuable information. - ^ I Sergeant Walsh, of Chicago, lowed his company commander 10 ino; ;j first lines in spite of a severe barrag&g' The captain being killed. Sergeant;?-" Walsh took charge of a detachment-of American soldiers and attacked a Uprior number of Germans, inflicting .severe losses on the enemy. In recommendation made by the genefgK?| commanding the division of which Sergeant Walsh is a member the following sentence appeared: "Although v)v of advanced age, he (Walsh) refused:f to leave the front." Sergeant Walsh was detailed General Pershing as orderly to SeCTO*-). tary of War Baker upon the lattertKv arrival in PraEch." - FRANCE CALLS TO IIB Across the sea There comes the call Of France to me.
