Milton J. Foreman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Milton J. Foreman, Colonel, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ferme de Maucourt, northwest of Beauclair, France, November 4, 1918. When the advance of the Infantry was held up by heavy fire from hostile machine guns and artillery, which his artillery was unable to locate and neutralize, Colonel Foreman personally advanced by creeping through a heavy enemy artillery barrage to a point in the Infantry front line where he could by direct visual observation locate the position of enemy machine guns. Remaining at this post exposed to a terrific hostile bombardment he transmitted information to the supporting artillery and directed their fire on hostile strong points until the advance of the Infantry line was effected.
