RECORD OF CITATIONS OF 358TH INFANTRY.
Major Sim C. Souther, 358th Infantry: During the advance of September 13, 1918, between Fey-
en-Haye and Vilcey, Major Sim C. Souther, was always in advance of his men or where he could direct
their movements, always gaining the immediate goal with a minimum loss to his company. He led them
“over-the-top”, through machine-gun fire and wherever danger was the greatest with a coolness in
disregard of personal danger that could not be excelled. It was by his untiring and unceasing efforts and
example that his company was so successful in capturing prisoners and supplies.
Major Sim C. Souther, 358th Infantry: When in command of his battalion in the advance on
Stenay, his direct advance after taking Blanc Fontaine was stopped by enemy fire. He pushed his
battalion to the west and entered Stenay by another road, and by his personal influence and example
brought his battalion well into Stenay under heavy fire from high explosive shells and shrapnel, and
forced the evacuation of the town by the enemy, November 10, 1918.
Major Terry D. Allen, 358th Infantry: On 24th October, 1918, near Aincreville, France, led his
battalion against the enemy, gained his objective, exposing himself constantly to machine gun and
shellfire, giving evidence of extraordinary bravery and coolness. His example was an inspiration to the
officers and men of his command.
Major Carl T. Brown, M. C. 358th Infantry: Showed distinguished gallantry under enemy
artillery bombardment. When a German 150 mm high explosive shell struck within 6 feet of his head
and scattered fragments around him his first action was to rush to his commanding officer to see if any
harm had come to him. Date September 29, 1918, place, Bois de Friere, 1½ km north of Fey-en-Haye.
Captain George B. Danenhour, 358th Infantry: On 14th September 1918, near Vilcey Sur Trey,
in an advance it was necessary to cross an open valley which was covered by enemy machine guns.
Captain Danenhour fearlessly exposed himself to fire in directing the reduction of these machine guns
by the units under him, thereby saving many lives and facilitating the safe advance of two battalions.
Captain Arthur B. Gjellum, M. C., 358th Infantry: On September 14th, 1918, Captain Gjellum
established a battalion aid station for his battalion where he continued to administer to the wounded
while under heavy and continuous shell fire from the enemy, his station of necessity being in the open.
Captain James R. Barnes, 358th Infantry: Rushed the Regimental Supply Train, 358th Infantry,
consisting of Ford Trucks into Halles, November 4, 1918, in advance of any troops and while the town
was under heavy fire from enemy high explosive shells, shrapnel and machine guns, and by this action
so affected the enemy’s morale is to assist materially in the later advance of a battalion of infantry on
Côte 205.
Chaplain Charles D. Priest, 358th Infantry: Chaplain Priest voluntarily went out in the open to
render aid to a wounded man who had been brought down by a German sniper. Two men previously
