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 Charles Disalvo (ASN: 2848232), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company B, 354th Infantry Regiment, 89th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Remonville, France, 1 November 1918. When the combat group, of which he was a member, was held up by enemy machine-guns, Private Disalvo charged forward alone, and, attacking the nest, killed one gunner and forced the rest to surrender. His heroic act enabled the advance to be resumed, though Private Disalvo had himself been mortally wounded.
