Ralph Moyer

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Ralph Moyer, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-de-St. Remy, France, September 12, 1918. Although painfully wounded while cutting wires under terrific shell fire, Private Moyer refused to be evacuated and continued at his work until a lane had been opened and his platoon had passed through. He then joined his platoon and engaged in the battle until he became so weak from his wounds that he had to be sent to the rear.
