The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Battalion Sergeant Major George Philip Storm (ASN: 44579), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Headquarters Company, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Baulny, France, 4 October 1918. Sergeant Major Storm volunteered and carried a message through violent artillery and machine-gun fire. He then assisted in caring for the wounded and sending them to the rear with prisoners. Later, when his battalion had made an advance, Sergeant Major Storm, after finishing his duties at the old P. C. advanced through violent fire to his new station, where he was killed by shell fire while assisting in the consolidation.
