The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John D. Moore, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Somme- Py, France, October 2 – 9, 1918. During this period Private Moore evacuated the wounded in an advance post under shell and sniper fire.

He also assisted the litter bearers in exposed positions in carrying the wounded from the lines to the dressing station.
