The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Private First Class Robert L. Ifland (ASN: 36695797), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Headquarters Company, 16th Tank Battalion, 16th Armored Division, in action against enemy forces in Czechoslovakia, on 6 May 1945. On that date, near Kozolupy, Czechoslovakia, Private Ifland, armed only with a rifle, fearlessly advanced alone against an enemy pill box which dominated the route of his unit's advance. Halfway to his objective he was mortally wounded by direct, intense machine gun fire but gallantly and relentlessly continued to the crest of the embankment, forced the enemy to withdraw and skillfully directed an encircling movement by other members of his patrol which resulted in the capture of fifty enemy soldiers and eight vehicles. Private Ifland's dauntless heroism and unflinching, selfless devotion to duty reflect the highest traditions of the military service.

The memorial was dedicated on May 7, 2023.

ON THE WAY TO LIBERATE PILSEN

May 6, 1945

The story of Pfc. Robert "Bob" Lee Ifland (born September 20, 1914) began with his entry into the US Army in October 1943. He is assigned to the HQ company of the 16th Tank Battalion under the 16th Armored Division, with which he leaves for Europe in February 1945. At that time, he and his wife Lisa are expecting a daughter, Jean, whom he will unfortunately never see.
In the morning of May 6, 1945, Pfc. Robert L. Ifland with Task Force B of the 16th AD advanced to Pilsen. With three other soldiers, he was a member of the reconnaissance team that advanced at the head of the American troops. On the southwestern edge of Benéves, scouts near the Pilsen -
- Cheb railway line came across a position of anti-aircraft guns, whose task was to protect Skoda works in Pilsen. The defense of the artillery position was also formed by a machine gun nest, which opened fire on the American soldiers. The scouts returned fire. Pfc. Ifland tried to dodge the heavy machine gun, but was hit. Despite his injuries, he reached the railway embankment. He attracted enemy fire and thus enabled the other men to bypass the German defensive position.
After a while the fight stopped and Robert could be treated at least temporarily. This was followed by a transfer to the American 39th Evacuation Hospital in Weiden, Germany. Pfc. Robert L. Ifland succumbed to his injuries on May 7, 1945. Shortly thereafter, he was buried at the American Military Cemetery in Nuremberg, Germany, but in August 1945, he was moved to the Saint-Avold Military Cemetery in France. Two years later, at the request of the family, he was exhumed and transferred to the cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, USA, where his remains still can be found For his heroism in the battle near Benéves, he received in memoriam the second highest American military award - the "Distinguished Service Cross" and the "Purple Heart".
Around 8 o'clock in the morning on May 6, 1945, members of the 16th AD entered the city center.
Pilsen was finally free. For the 16th AD it was the first and at the same time the last combat operation during its deployment in Europe. Pfc. Robert L. Ifland was the only member of the division to die of wounds received in combat. The division remained in Europe until October 1945.' The Ifland Memorial is an imaginary "window into history". It commemorates the fateful fight of Pfc. Robert L. Ifland, which took place here on May 6, 1945. The establishment of the memorial was initiated and financed by the 16th Armored Division Association. The memorial was unveiled on May 7, 2023, with the participation of children and friends of the 16th AD veterans.
