More information

Stanley Chadwick graduated from Sanborn Academy in Kingston and was employed in the supply department at the Portsmouth navy yard.

He was sent overseas in September 1944.

Just before dark the enemy managed to move a tank and two anti-tank guns into a small group of woods on a hill to the west of the town and opened fire on the American forces with deadly pointblank accuracy. Before that threat could be neutralized four tanks were lost, including that of Captain Gene E. Sucharda, the commanding officer of Company C. He and Pfc Stanley K. Chadwick were killed and one other officer and eight enlisted men were wounded.
