_Robb, George S., First Lieutenant_, 369th Infantry, 93rd Division,
Saline, Kan.—Séchault, France, Sept 29-30, 1918. While leading his
platoon in the assault on Séchault, Lieutenant 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 dressing
station by his commanding officer. Returning within forty-five minutes,
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 his remarkable devotion to duty by remaining in
command of his platoon. Later the same day a bursting shell added two
more wounds, the same shell killing his commanding officer and two
officers of his company. He then assumed command of the company and
organized its position in the trenches. Displaying wonderful courage
and tenacity 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 objective. His example of bravery and fortitude and his
eagerness to continue with his mission despite severe wounds set before
the enlisted men of his command a most wonderful standard of morale and
self-sacrifice.
