Apparently William M. Callaghan was the brother of Rear Adm. Daniel J. Callaghan who received a posthumous Medal of Honor for his service during the Guadalcanal Campaign in 1942. Daniel was born in San Francisco in 1890 and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1911. According to the roster of Naval Academy alumni, William was born in California in 1897 and stood 31st among 199 in the Class of 1919 (graduated in June 1918). His son, William Jr., graduated from Annapolis in 1949 and retired as a rear admiral in 1980.
