Robert Haubrich

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robert Haubrich, Major, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sedan, France, November 7, 1918. Personally leading his battalion, which was the assault battalion, in the advance upon Sedan, Major Haubrich exposed himself many times to intense machine-gun and heavy artillery fire, in order to keep contact with the enemy, greatly encouraging all the members of his command by his gallantry. Later in the day he was wounded but he continued on duty until two hours later, when he had his wounds dressed at the first-aid station, resuming command immediately afterward.
