While serving with the 7th Machine Gun Battalion, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, Corporal Robert M. Kellenberger, Private First Class Orlando C. Huff, and Private Earl L. Bray were liaison agents between Company I, 16th Infantry Regiment and their company. These men rendered invaluable services in keeping the Company Commander informed as to the movements of enemy troops, especially during the mopping up of woods on the right of Mont Sec, giving the locations of Machine Gun Nests and Sniping posts. This work was done under concentrated machine gun and artillery fire, with utter disregard of personal danger and at great risk of their lives.
