Harold C. Moore

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harold C. Moore, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Mount Des Ailleux, France, September 26, 1918. Although wounded by the same shell which mortally wounded his platoon commander, Sergeant Moore went to his company for assistance, returned through a heavy shell fire, and helped to carry his commander to a place of safety. He did not report his own wound or receive medical attention until the officer had been cared for.
