General Orders No. 46, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank B. Gresham, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois-du-Fays, France, September 26, 1918. After his patrol had been twice scattered by machine-gun, fire, Sergeant Gresham continued his reconnaissance, accompanied by only one other soldier, and secured the information for which he had been sent. Upon rejoining his company he was placed in command of his platoon, whose commander had been wounded, and succeeded in reorganizing it under heavy shell fire.
