General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Roy Raykman, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Cote-de- Chatillon, France, October 26, 1918. During a heavy bombardment of his ammunition train, when one man and twelve horses were killed and several men wounded, Sergeant Raykman displayed coolness and quick judgment in cutting loose the dead horses and straightening out the train. He then returned through the shell fire and searched in the darkness until he found all the wounded.
