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 (Chaplain’s Corps) Winfred Earl Robb, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 168th Infantry Regiment, 42d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, throughout the advance across the River Ourcq, northeast of Chateau-Thierry, France, July 26 to 2 August 1918. During the pursuit of the enemy by the 168th Infantry across the River Ourcq, Chaplain Robb distinguished himself by his bravery under fire. During all of this time, and particularly during the operations near Sergy, he showed the greatest coolness under severe artillery fire in attending and carrying the wounded and dying, and in every way ministering to the needs of the men of his regiment.
