General Orders No. 35, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Emmett W. Robins, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Vieville-en-Haye, France, October 20, 1918. Corporal Robins, with four other soldiers, was on duty in an observation post, when a German patrol 15 or 20 strong, attacked with a machine-gun. His four companions being immediately killed or wounded, Private Robins, with great coolness and courage, remained at his post, and returned the fire with such good effect that the enemy broke and fled, leaving two dead and the machine-gun behind.
