The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Carl Robbins, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Posolskaya, Siberia, January 10, 1920. When his platoon was attacked in the night by an armored train, Sergeant Robbins climbed up on the engine of the armored train in the face of pistol and machine-gun fire and hurled a grenade into the cab, which rendered the engine incapable of further operation, losing his life by his gallant conduct.
