Roy B. Foureman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Roy B. Foureman, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Brabant sur Meuse, France, October 23, 1918. During the offensive action in Bossois Bois the four trench mortars operated by Lieutenant Foureman’s platoon were put out of action. Under an enemy barrage Lieutenant Foureman went from gun to gun, encouraging his men to continued effort until his last gun was out of action, when he turned his attention to assisting the wounded.
