GEORGE 5. RoaR,

First Lieutenant, e69th Infantry.
For conspicuous gallantry, beyond
the call of duty, near Secbault, France,
September 20 and 80, Lieut.. Robb
was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. While leading his platoon
In the assault on Sechault, Lieut.. Robb
was severely wounded By machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear for
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding off
Ger. Returning within forty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night, inspecting his lines
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
votion to duty by remaining in COM
mand of his platoon. Later the same
day bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He then assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied its position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jective. His example of bravery and
fortitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
of his command a most wonderful
standard of morale and self-sacri6ce.
Lieut.. Robb's home address is 30S
South Twelfth street. Salina, Kan,
where his mother lives.
