John R. Mcglue

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John R. McGlue, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ronssoy, France, September 29, 1918. Private first Class McGlue, with Mechanic Copeland, left the protection of a trench and, in the face of heavy machine-gun and grenade fire, went in advance of our lines to rescue a wounded comrade. They were exposed to heavy fire from the time they left the trench. Private McGlue was killed as he and his companion were returning to the trench with the succored wounded comrade.
