Hadfield, 25, son of Mrs. Grace V. Hadfield, 242 East First South street, Logan, has been awarded the bronze star medaL The citation, made by command of Major General Brooks and signed by Lieut. Col. R. H. Shell, describes the heroic action of Sergeant Hadfield in directing fire of his gun against the enemy. "Had it not been for the firing of this gun, the enemy would have broken through before an adequate defensive line could be set up, the citation said. On the morning of July 29, 1944," it continues, the position of B battery was attacked by approximately one company of infantry and 15 tanks. The medium tanks of the first and second sections were ordered to take direct fire positions. "Sergeant Hadfield, chief of the second section, unhesi t a 1 n g 1 y moved up to within 75 yards of the enemy and directed the fir of his gun against the enemy m spite of intense machine gun fire. One tank was knocked out and many infantry men were killed by the fire of Sergeant Hadfields gun. He fired until forced to withdraw and take up his position behind a defensive line which was by infantry, being established tanks and tank destroyers." Norman has been in service two four years, and overseas years. He participated in the North African and Sicilian invasions, and then was sent to England to prepare for the Normandy invasion. He was among the first units to nter France. Three brothers are in the service: Ronald Hadfield, a seaman in Hawaii; second class based Eldon, with the maritime service in the Pacific, and Aviation Cadet Max Hadfield, Fort Myers, Fla. 1 William Andrews To Be Eulogized William Andrews, prominent Logan businessman, will be eulogized at funeral rites to be held Monday at 1 p. m. in Logan Third ward chapel, under direction of Bishop Ira N.
