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 Edmond Sellers (ASN: 1311712), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company I, 118th Infantry Regiment, 30th Division, A.E.F., near Brancourt, France, 8 October 1918. While his platoon was advancing Sergeant Sellers, on his own initiative, rushed ahead of the line and, flanking an enemy machine-gun post, shot one of the crew and bayoneted the other. His action saved his platoon from heavy causalities.
