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 Private First Class Robert Fazler (ASN: 1751332), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company L, 312th Infantry Regiment, 78th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in Grand Pre, France, 22 October 1918. After delivering a message to his battalion headquarters, passing through the main street of Grand Pre, which was being enfiladed by a terrific enemy fire, Private Fazler went to the rescue of a comrade who had fallen under the direct fire and observation of the enemy, notwithstanding the warning that to go to the man’s aid would mean certain death to him. He gave the wounded man first-aid treatment and successfully carried him to a place of safety.
