Angus Robertson

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Angus Robertson, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ronssoy, France, September 25, 1918. Although suffering intense agony from the effects of a severe gassing, Sergeant Robertson continued in command of his platoon during a most terrific shelling. By administering first aid to a wounded comrade he was instrumental in saving his life, although risking his own by removing his gas mask to render more valuable treatment. He continued to assist the wounded until he collapsed.
