Winfred E. Robb

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Winfred E. Robb, First Lieutenant (Chaplain), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action throughout the advance across the River Ourcq, northeast of Chateau-Thierry, France, July 26 to August 2, 1918. During the pursuit of the enemy by the 168th Infantry across the River Ourcq, (Chaplain) Robb distinguished himself by his bravery under fire. During all of this time, and particularly during the operations near Sergy, he showed the greatest coolness under severe artillery fire in attending and carrying the wounded and dying, and in every way ministering to the needs of the men of his regiment.
