Robert E. Myhrman

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robert E. Myhrman, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Very, France, September 26, 1918. While his battery position was being heavily shelled by the enemy artillery Captain Myhrman remained constantly with his men, ordering them to safety, and caring for a wounded man. After his battery had been placed in position he conducted his own reconnaissance, and prepared his own firing data with no regard for the danger to which he was exposed from heavy enemy shell fire.
