Frederick A. Tieman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frederick A. Tieman, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bony, France, September 29, 1918. During the attack against the Hindenburg line, when he became separated from his squad, with utter disregard for his personal safety Private Tieman fearlessly operated a Lewis machine gun, inflicting heavy losses upon the enemy. Later, when it was possible for him to rejoin his company, he assisted in rallying the men to further efforts and aided materially in the victory that was ultimately won. His splendid courage and gallant conduct were an inspiration to all his comrades.
