"Sergeant 1st Class Benjamin Peter Koch, Company E, 304th Engineers. On that morning of Nov. 11th 1918, near Gibercy, France, he conducted himself with great gallantry and devotion to duty. His company was completing the construction of a bridge over the Thinte River when forced to cover by concentrated enemy shell fire. Indifferent to personal danger he remained at work in an exposed position."
