I believe he was in the cadre assigned to Company I when I joined them in May of 1943, about a month before the divi sion was activated. I was in the second platoon and he was Platoon Sergeant of our Weapons Platoon. I was with Company I until April of 1944 when a bunch of us were shipped out and eventually went overseas as infantry replacements. I joined the 29th Division a month after D Day and was wounded July 31,1944, my first day in Combat. But getting back to Sergeant Hadaway, he was indeed a fine fellow. I never heard a bad thing uttered about him. I had heard about his demise when I was still overseas and By Clarence Marshall was greatly saddened. I'm sure he was up front leading when Membership Chairman he was killed.
