Lonzo L. Fuller

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lonzo L. Fuller, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, north of Soissons, France, September 1, 1918. During an attack on a strong enemy position, in the face of heavy fire from artillery and machine guns, Private Fuller, a runner, worked unceasingly throughout the attack in maintaining lateral liaison between units. The entire route which he was obliged to travel was exposed to heavy fire from the enemy, and on one of his trips he succeeded in locating a machine-gun nest which had been inflicting heavy losses on our troops. Returning through a rain of bullets, he reported the exact position of the emplacement, which enabled the artillery to demolish it.
