The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frank C. Morey, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Foret Vencheres, France, September 13, 1918. As a battalion runner, Private Morey constantly exposed himself during a six-hour bombardment to maintain liaison. After passing repeatedly through the enemy barrage to deliver important messages, he volunteered to accompany or lead a reconnaissance patrol to investigate enemy activities which he had noticed while on his missions of liaison and obtained valuable information for his commander.
