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 First Lieutenant Norbert Milleret, Army of France, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving as Liaison Officer, 49th Regiment of Infantry, 155th U.S. Infantry (Attached), 78th Division, A.E.F., near Thiaucourt, France, September 14 – 3 October 1918; and near the Bois-des-Loges, France, October 15 – 19, 1918. As liaison officer with the 155th Infantry Brigade, Lieutenant Milleret was untiring in his constant efforts to further the success of the operations and repeatedly ignored his personal safety in visiting observation posts and assisting in the machine-gun and intelligence work of the brigade. Lieutenant Milleret was killed by shell fire on 19 October 1918.
