Completely disregarding his own safety Colonel Robinson remained in forward areas and personally directed the operations which culminated in the success of his regiment in storming strong defensive positions at Fort du Roule and Cherbourg. His personal contact with the troops was maintained in the face of severe enemy fire and he repeatedly exposed himself to this enemy fire in order to keep in personal contact with his battalion commanders. His presence in forward observation posts while those around him were becoming casualties imparted confidence to his officers and men. By his courageous direction, intrepid leadership and outstanding professional ability Colonel Robinson set an inspiring example for his command reflecting the highest traditions of the armed forces.
