4th class cross awarded to Colonel Viktor Vladimirovich Vrashtil /Виктор Владимирович Враштиль/ on April 4, 1917 "for the fact that in the battle on July 28, 1916 near height "384" near the Kshaki forest being with the 4th hundred of the regiment commanded by him on the ledge and seeing that hundreds of the first line of his regiment were being shot by flank fire from the stopped German reserve, on his own initiative he rushed with his hundred to the enemy’s flank, quickly crashed into enemy ranks, cut down those closest, caused confusion and forced enemy to flee into the trenches - which greatly alleviated the difficult situation of his regiment, gave him the opportunity to complete the attack and his own infantry who approached, - settle down and gain a foothold in the occupied area, providing decisive assistance to the overall success. Returning after the attack to the Kshaki forest and seeing that part of the battalion of the Kerch-Yenikolsky regiment, which had lost all its officers, was pressed by the enemy and hit by rifle, machine-gun and artillery fire, began to retreat, - which threatened the loss of the success achieved - he handed over command of the remnants of his hundred to his deputy and himself took command of the companies of this battalion and, on his own initiative, went on the offensive with them, recaptured the lost height "384", on which he remained despite outflanking the enemy thus made it possible for the arriving reinforcements to restore their previous position.”/Пожалован орденом Св.Георгия 4-й ст. "за то, что в бою 28-го июля 1916 года близ высоты "384" у леса Кшаки, находясь с командуемой им 4-й сотней полка на уступе и увидя, что сотни первой линии его полка расстреливаются фланговым огнем остановившегося резерва германцев, по собственному почину бросился с сотней во фланг противника, стремительно врезался в его ряды, изрубил ближайших, произвел замешательство и заставил бежать в окопы,- чем облегчил в значительной степени тяжелое положение своего полка, дал ему возможность довести атаку до конца, а подошедшей своей пехоте, - устроиться и закрепиться на занятом участке,оказав решительное содействие общему успеху. Возвращаясь после атаки к лесу Кшаки и видя, что часть батальона Керчь-Еникольского полка, потерявшая всех своих офицеров, теснимая противником и поражаемая ружейным, пулеметным и артиллерийским огнем, начала отходить, - что грозило утратой достигнутого успеха, - передал командование остатками своей сотни заместителю, сам же принял командование ротами этого батальона и,по собственному почину, перешел с ними в наступление, вновь захватил утерянную высоту "384", на которой и удержался несмотря на обход противника, это дало возможность подошедшим подкреплениям восстановить прежнее положение".​
