The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant William T. Nimmo (ASN: 60828), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company F, 101st Infantry Regiment, 26th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Bois-de-St. Remy, France, 12 September 1918. During the drive across the St. Mihiel salient, Sergeant Nimmo led a group of 25 men through a severe machine-gun fire and into the woods occupied by the enemy. There lie charged a machine-gun nest single handed and captured the gun. The gun crew attempted to escape by entering a nearby dugout, but Sergeant Nimmo followed them into the dugout alone and captured the entire crew.
