Fred F. Moore

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred F. Moore, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action north of Flirey, France, September 12, 1918. Wounded in the left shoulder early in the morning while in command of his company, Captain Moore continued to lead and handle it during the entire day in an efficient and gallant manner under fire. He refused to take time to have his wound attended to until late that night after his command had entrenched under fire and was safe.
