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.

SERGEANT, JOSEPH H. FAHEY.

On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, two kilometers northeast of Vieville-en-Haye, when his platoon was enfiladed by several enemy machine guns, made three attempts to rush same, retiring only when he and his companions had been badly wounded or killed.

Sergeant Fahey was also decorated with the French Croix de Guerre.

SERGEANT, EDWARD J. WELSH.

On September 24, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, two kilometers northeast of Vieville-en-Haye, while his platoon was holding the outpost line, under heavy shell fire and in the open, Sergeant (then Corporal) Welsh’s platoon commander and all platoon sergeants were killed or wounded. He promptly took charge, reorganizing his platoon, and held his sector until relieved.

PRIVATE 1st CLASS, JOSEPH S. ALDRIDGE, JR.

On the night of September 24-25, 1918, at Bois de Grande, Fontaine, two kilometers northeast of Vieville-en-Haye, Pvt. 1st Class Aldridge carried messages repeatedly between Company and Battalion Headquarters through a heavy enemy barrage; also took place of a wounded litter bearer and brought in wounded under shell fire.

PRIVATE 1st CLASS, LUKE E. SLOVER, JR. (Deceased).

On the night of September 24-25, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, two kilometers northeast of Vieville-en-Haye, Private 1st Class Slover carried messages repeatedly between Company and Battalion Headquarters through a heavy enemy barrage; also took place of a wounded litter bearer and brought in wounded under heavy shell fire.

MEMBERS OF COMPANY “B,” 311TH INFANTRY MENTIONED IN 78TH DIVISION GENERAL ORDERS NO. 6

EXTRACT: “The Division Commander desires to record in the General Orders of the 78th Division some of the deeds of men of this command which were marked by the display of the highest of soldierly qualities--initiative, dauntless courage, self-sacrifice and steadfast devotion to duty which offered a constant inspiration to all who came to have knowledge thereof and which contributed largely, in the aggregate, to the success of the division’s operations against the enemy.”

1st LIEUT. ROY A. SCHUYLER, (Deceased)

On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, after holding outpost line with his platoon for three days under continuous shell fire, without shelter and under most trying weather conditions on being ordered to advance, led his men with most conspicuous gallantry through a heavy barrage, took his objective, reorganized his command, where, while posting men in observation in front of his position, with utmost disregard of his personal safety, he was killed.

2nd LIEUT. RAYMOND B. DUNN.

On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, advanced with his platoon through heavy enemy barrage; after heavy losses joined company at objective with remaining five men, showing great coolness and courage in organizing and defending new position under fire.

SERGEANT WILLIAM M. REID.

On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, after his platoon leader was killed, took command of platoon and handled same most gallantly and efficiently, repulsing two enemy counter-attacks.

SUPPLY SERGEANT JOSEPH LEVY.

On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, exhibited continuous gallantry in action. Several times he brought up ration parties through heavy shell fire to the outpost line. During enemy counter-attacks he assisted company commander to reorganize right flank of company.

CORPORAL JOSEPH R. McGARRITY.

On September 24, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, when his platoon leader and sergeants were killed or wounded, assisted Corporal Welsh to reorganize his platoon under heavy shell fire, and to hold position until relieved.

PRIVATE LORY L. PRICE.

On September 26, 1918, at Bois de Grande Fontaine, being posted to cover his company’s left flank with his automatic rifle, held his post under heavy shelling and machine gun and rifle fire and was mainly responsible for repulsing repeated enemy counter-attacks from 6:00 A. M. to 6 P. M. He thus set for his comrades a remarkable example of devotion to duty and cool and unhesitating self-sacrifice.
