He served in Co L, 310th Infantry. He was killed in action during WW1. Another Find-A-Grave member sent me the following.
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 (my note--the second highest medal awarded by the U.S. Army) to 2nd Lt. (Infantry) Charles Bowen Busey, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with the 310th Infantry Regiment, 78th Division, A.E.F., in the Bois-des-Loges, France 1 November 1918. While on duty as instructor at the school at Langres, France, Lt. Busey was sent to the 78th Division for a week of observation work, where at his own request, was attached to the frontline battalion; and again, on his own request, was assigned to duty with a company. During the attack on the enemy strong point Bois-des-Loges, Lt. Busey unhesitatingly and with utmost gallantry led a patrol of four men through heavy artillery and machine-gun fire toward the position of a machine-gun nest which was holding up the company's advance, when he was killed by a hostile hand grenade within few yards of his objective.
