Rubin L. George

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Rubin L. George, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Brieulles, France, September 29, 1918. After his platoon had become badly disorganized under heavy fire, and all the sergeants had been killed or wounded, Corporal George took charge of the platoon, reorganized it with great courage, and initiative, and led it on in the attack against hostile machine guns. He was wounded shortly afterwards, but he remained throughout the night where he had fallen refusing to be evacuated till all the other wounded had been cared for.
