-Lt. George S. Robb, Salina, was awarded the Congressional (sic) Medal of Honor for action in France, September 29-30, 1918. The official citation read: “He held his position on the front line all night though severely wounded twice, and although wounded twice again the following day, assumed command when his captain and company officers were killed, and by flanking the town of Sechault with machine guns, aided his battalion in holding it.”
Due to the holidays we’re trying to give you a heads up on WWI themed movies scheduled on TCM the first six days of January. Turns out there’s only one that we can take note of.
That would be The Spy in Black, also known as U-Boat 29. This is a British film directed by Michael Powell and stars Conrad Veidt and Valerie Hobson. It airs at 11:00 a.m. Central on Saturday, January 5th.
