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) Philip Kyle Robinson, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 306th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Mont-Notre-Dame, France, 10 September 1918. The 3d Battalion, 306th Infantry, having relieved another regiment in a position in front of Mont-Notre-Dame, it was reported that wounded members of the organization relieved were in the Bois-de-Chandriere in front of the position occupied by the 3d Battalion. Lieutenant Robinson, together with a noncommissioned officer and a private of his battalion, volunteered to search the woods and proceeded on his hazardous mission, crossing an open field, a distance of 600 yards, under direct observation of the enemy and under a concentration of heavy enemy machine-gun and artillery fire. Finding several wounded men he assisted them to return to their own lines, undoubtedly saving their lives. The extraordinary heroism and soldierly devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Robinson greatly inspired the men of his battalion.
