The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Private First Class John R. McGlue (ASN: 1209998), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company B, 107th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Ronssoy, France, 29 September 1918. Private first Class McGlue, with Mechanic Copeland, left the protection of a trench and, in the face of heavy machine-gun and grenade fire, went in advance of our lines to rescue a wounded comrade. They were exposed to heavy fire from the time they left the trench. Private McGlue was killed as he and his companion were returning to the trench with the succored wounded comrade.
