Forest G. Jeffery

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Forest G. Jeffery, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action north of Cunel, France, October 20, 1918. At a time when his platoon was held up by machine- gun fire from the front, Private Jeffery with two other comrades went forward and attacked the machine-gun position from the flank, capturing one officer, two sergeants, and six privates, and enabling his platoon to further advance without loss of men.
