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 Sergeant Harold Clark Moore (ASN: 2262347), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company C, 348th Machine-Gun Battalion, 91st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Mount Des Ailleux, France, 26 September 1918. Although wounded by the same shell which mortally wounded his platoon commander, Sergeant Moore went to his company for assistance, returned through a heavy shell fire, and helped to carry his commander to a place of safety. He did not report his own wound or receive medical attention until the officer had been cared for.
