9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross

1247301), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action
while serving with Company C, 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division,
A.E.F., near Fismes, France, August 9, 1918. Private Nesselson
repeatedly exposed himself to heavy enemy fire in order to deliver
messages from his company to the battalion commander. In the performance

which was constantly swept by enemy machine-gun fire. He volunteered
to carry a message after others had been killed in the attempt
and continued to perform this perilous duty until he was mortally
wounded. General Orders: War Department, General Orders No. 11
