Frank J. Fisher

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank J. Fisher, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Beauclair, France, November 3 – 4, 1918. Largely as a result of his personal bravery Lieutenant Fisher advanced our front line a distance of two kilometers, going out in advance and capturing two German machine-guns and killing the crews. When his line was later halted by heavy fire, he exposed himself fearlessly in passing among his men to steady them and direct the consolidation of the position they held. While so doing he was mortally wounded.
