MEMBERS OF COMPANY “B,” 311TH INFANTRY WHO WERE DECORATED
WITH THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS.
FIRST SERGEANT, CHARLES A. ROBBINS.
On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, two kilometers northeast of Vieville-en-Haye, Sergeant Bobbins, although painfully wounded in the knee, during advance, he continued to the objective, rendered valuable assistance in reorganizing his company and refused to retire until ordered to do so by Company Commander. He thereupon helped to carry several other wounded to the First Aid Station before his own condition was observed and he was evacuated.
FIRST SERGEANT, TRACY S. WHITE.
For extraordinary heroism in action near Ferme des Loges, France, 19th October, 1918. When the position his company held was enfiladed and communication to the rear cut off, he volunteered to carry a message to the battalion commander after several runners had been killed in the attempt. Crossing ground swept by intense machine gun and artillery fire, he delivered the message and returned with orders as to the disposition of the company.
