Congressional Medal Of Honor Citation
  James C. Dozier, first lieutenant, Company G, 118th Infantry, 30th Division.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in
action with the enemy near Montbrehain, France, October 8, 1918. In command of
two platoons, Lieut, Dosier was painfully wounded in the shoulder early in the
attack, but he continued to lead his men, displaying the highest bravery and
skill. When his command was held up by heavy machine-gun fire he disposed his
men in the best cover available and with a soldier continued forward to attack a
machine-gun nest. Creeping up to the position in the face of intense fire, he
killed the entire crew with hand grenades and his pistol and a little later
captured a number of Germans, who had taken refuge in a dugout near-by.
Residence at appointment: 524 Asnafrel Street, Rock Hill, S. C.
