Read More	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 Major (Infantry) Ralph Amherst Gregory, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 109th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division, A.E.F., near St. Agnan, France, 16 July 1918. During an attack on Hill 200 in which his battalion participated, the French and American forces were repulsed with heavy losses owing to terrific machine-gun and artillery fire. Leaving the protection afforded by the trenches and mounting the parapet thereof, with utter disregard for his own safety and in full view of the enemy, he exhorted his men to again attack, his indifference to the intense enemy machine-gun fire to which he was subjected raising the morale of his men to so high a pitch as to enable them to renew the assault with great courage and determination, driving the enemy from their strongly held positions.
