Home Town: Glendale, SC
General Orders 78, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Roe Bradley, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Brancourt, France, October 8, 1918. When a party of twenty-five of the enemy threatened the advance by machine-gun fire from a sunken road, Private Bradley, who was ahead of the front line, quickly got his automatic rifle into action, and, by well-directed enfilading fire, killed a large number of the enemy, capturing the remainder. His timely act prevented an interruption of the attack.
