	Sgt Richard W. Moore Ridgway Company H, 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division Died of Wounds: 25 October 1918 Cited for Bravery at Fismette, France 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 Sergeant Richard W. Moore (ASN: 1248409), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company H, 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division, A.E.F., at Fismette, France, 27 August 1918. As one of a group which was attacked by an overwhelming force of enemy, Sergeant Moore assisted in the defense of a crossing over the Vesle river and made possible the retirement of about 20 of his comrades. He continued against great odds to hold his position and inflicted heavy casualties upon the enemy, finally retiring under orders, fighting his way through heavy machine-gun, rifle, and artillery fire. His exceptional disregard for personal safety, resourcefulness, and bravery were an inspiration to all his comrades. Sergeant Moore was severely gassed in this fight and died shortly thereafter.
