War-dated partly-printed DS, signed “DD Eisenhower, Major, Tank Corps,” one page both sides, 8 x 11.5, July 22, 1918. Honorable discharge issued to George Mites Norton, “‘Sergeant’ Co. ‘C’ 330 Bn. Tank Corps.” Discharge lists Norton’s physical appearance, his age, and former occupation, “Grain Dealer.” Reverse bears his service record including no marksman qualification or battles participated in, no wounds, and lists his character as “excellent.” Signed at the bottom of the front by Eisenhower. In very good condition, with some tape reinforcement to edges of horizontal folds, a few small fold separations, scattered light toning and soiling, and expected stamps. Although Eisenhower and his crews would not see action in World War I, he was credited for his exceptional organizational skills and personnel management. A seldom-seen discharge with an even scarcer form of Eisenhower’s signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
