Robert B. Mcclure

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robert B. McClure, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Bellieu Bois, France, October 27, 1918. After being wounded Lieutenant McClure continued to lead his men until he was again wounded by enemy machine-gun fire in the foot and knee. Despite his wounds he reorganized his command and established a line of resistance, retaining active command until relieved by another officer several hours later.
