Robins L. Conn

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robins L. Conn, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Revillon, France, September 10, 1918. Lieutenant Conn volunteered, and, with two soldiers, went on a patrol for the purpose of capturing prisoners. They crawled forward to within a few yards of the enemy lines, overpowered two sentries and succeeded in delivering them to the battalion commander, despite the fact that the enemy put down a heavy barrage of rifle fire and fire grenades.
