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 Alberis Callawaert (ASN: 2101504), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Headquarters Company, 58th Infantry Regiment, 4th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Chezy, France, 18 July 1918, near La-Pre Farm, 4 August 1918; and near Bois-de-Fays, 28 September 1918. Facing heavy fire, Private Callawaert carried ammunition from regimental headquarters to the companies of the assaulting battalion, returning with prisoners. In a later engagement, he carried and laid wire while under heavy fire from snipers, machine-guns and artillery, thus maintaining telephonic communication with the front line companies. Subsequently, while endeavoring to establish telephonic communications, he was killed while carrying wire across ground swept by machine guns and artillery.
