Robert Nickovich

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robert Nickovich, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Vladivostok, Siberia, November 17 – 18, 1919. In answer to a call to save women and children who had been unavoidably entrapped in the railroad station by the fire from contending forces of Russian Government and insurgent troops, Private Nickovich boldly entered the zone of fire and rushed to the station which was being fired upon from three sides by machine guns, rifles, and field pieces, and assisted in bringing back through the fire-swept zone a number of women noncombatants.
