The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Roy E. McComb, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Foret De Jaulnay, France, November 4, 1918. Sergeant McComb led a section of machine guns with great courage, under heavy enemy artillery and machine-gun fire, silencing three hostile machine-gun nests. Repeatedly exposing himself in order to get the maximum fire effect, this soldier was fatally wounded and died the same day.
