Distinguished Service Cross Citation
  Ravee Norris, major, 167th Infantry. For extraordinary heroism in action near
Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October 14-10, 1918. During the attack on the
Cote-de-Chatillon, Maj. Norris personally led his battalion through the intense
artillery and machine-gun fire. Although the attack led through a dense forest,
he maneuvered his battalion with such success that liaison was maintained at all
times between the units of his command and with the units on the right and left
flanks, and a successful attack made upon position considered almost
impregnable. He was wounded during this attack. Residence at appointment:
Birmingham, Ala.
