Lieutenant Arthur Rubin Kilborn
An appendix to the battalion war diary for October 1918 records that he was awarded the DSO for his actions during the Amiens operations and the citation was published in The London Gazette issue 31043 of 29 November 1918:
"Lt. Arthur Rubin Kilborn, M.C., M.M., 78th Bn., Can. Infy., Manitoba R.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as scout officer during four days' operations. Under heavy fire he maintained liaison between the companies and battalion headquarters, his accurate information enabling the positions to be readjusted in the face of obstinate resistance. When the left of the attack was threatened he collected some details, and fearlessly exposing himself, shot two officers at close quarters and restored the situation."
