General Orders No. No. 16, W.D., 11920
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robert M. Pratt, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Enitsa, Russia, October 17, 1918. In an attack on an enemy strong point, Corporal Pratt led his Lewis gun crew in a gallant dash in the face of enemy fire, 80 yards ahead of the other members of his platoon. His section delivered an accurate and enfilading fire, which forced the enemy to retire. This act enabled his company to capture the entire enemy position.
