The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private James Fuquay (ASN: 1402857), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company H, 370th Infantry Regiment, 93d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, at Guillimet Farm, France, 28 September 1918. When Private Fuquay, an automatic rifleman, was stationed at a particularly dangerous location, his rifle became jammed, whereupon he took it apart, remedied the trouble, and again put it into operation. While doing this he was wounded in the left arm, but refused first-aid, continuing to serve his piece and direct fire on the enemy positions until completely exhausted from loss of blood.
