The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John Wrobbel, Cook, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Champagne Sector, France, July 15 – 18, 1918. During the heaviest bombardment Cook Wrobbel regularly supplied hot meals to his men. On July 16 his kitchen was almost demolished by shell bursts and a large number of rations destroyed, but he remained at his post after all assistants had sought places of safety.
