    The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private Hylory Julewicz (ASN: 1900564), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company A, 326th Infantry Regiment, 82d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near St. Juvin, France, 17 October 1918. After the first-line positions in front of Champigneulles, France were abandoned, Private Julewicz’s company commander discovered that important papers, messages, and maps which could give information to the enemy had been left in the old front line. Private Julewicz, without announcing his purpose, at risk of life or capture, crossed 500 yards of machine-gun and shell-swept ground in full view of the enemy and recovered the papers.
