The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to Specialist Second Class Robert V. Dold, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, near Oui-Dong, Korea, on 4 November 1856. Upon learning that a comrade had been injured by an antipersonnel mine, Specialist Dold immediately procured a vehicle, picked up an aid man and quickly drove to the scene of the accident. Fully aware of the danger involved without benefit of a safe lane or mine detector, he unhesitatingly entered the uncharted minefield and went to the rescue of the helpless man. After assisting in administering first aid he helped evacuate the critically injured man by litter to an awaiting ambulance which rushed him to a collecting station for further treatment. Specialist Dold’s valorous actions were instrumental in saving the life of a fellow soldier, reflecting utmost credit on himself in the military service.
