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 Sergeant Angus Robertson (ASN: 1204123), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 105th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Ronssoy, France, 25 September 1918. Although suffering intense agony from the effects of a severe gassing, Sergeant Robertson continued in command of his platoon during a most terrific shelling. By administering first aid to a wounded comrade he was instrumental in saving his life, although risking his own by removing his gas mask to render more valuable treatment. He continued to assist the wounded until he collapsed.
