General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Raymond N. Moore, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Consenvoye, France, October 10, 1918. Sergeant Moore led his section of two guns to the aid of an infantry company. Failing in his attempt to establish an advantageous position, he alone took his gun 100 yards in advance of the line, exposed to violent machine-gun and artillery fire; and, setting it up, in an open field silenced the fire of enemy machine-gun snipers who had been inflicting heavy losses on our troops.
