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 Captain (Infantry) Fred Fremont Moore, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 355th Infantry Regiment, 89th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, north of Flirey, France, 12 September 1918. Wounded in the left shoulder early in the morning while in command of his company, Captain Moore continued to lead and handle it during the entire day in an efficient and gallant manner under fire. He refused to take time to have his wound attended to until late that night after his command had entrenched under fire and was safe.
