The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant (Infantry) Arthur Harrison Robinson, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 308th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Ville Savoye, France, 22 August 1918. Under a screen of dense fog, and the smoke of a heavy barrage, the Germans set up a machine-gun within 30 yards of the flank of Lieutenant Robinson’s company. The Germans opened up a deadly fire as the fog lifted, but Lieutenant Robinson attacked the position with grenades and drove off the enemy. He then turned the gun on the advancing Germans, completely breaking up their counterattack.
