Citation:

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Frederick Posser, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ronssoy, France, September 29, 1918. During the thick of the fighting against the Hindenburg line, Corporal Posser voluntarily went forward to locate friendly troops and, in doing so, he was obliged to pass between two strongly fortified enemy nests, from which a deadly fire was pouring. Despite this obstacle, he communicated with the infantry and returned to his position.
