Robert R. Rascoe

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Robert R. Rascoe, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Becquigny, France, October 10, 1918. Going forward to establish an aid post, Sergeant Rascoe, finding that the advance had already started, took his position in the front line and, exposed to terrific fire, cared for the wounded until the medical department was brought up. Later, while bringing up rations, he encountered shell fire and, although wounded and knocked down, he quickly regained his feet and completed his mission.
