Military Medal 'On 29th September, 1918, during operations South of BONY, Private CHADWICK as No. 2 to a Lewis Gun which had been mounted on the parapet to put a hostile machine gun out of action, kept the Lewis Gun supplied with magazines while under fire from at least 5 enemy machine guns, until the hostile gun was put out of action. Later in the day Private CHADWICK observed an enemy party working down a Communication trench. Taking his Lewis Gun, he brought fire to bear on them, causing casualties to the enemy and thus preventing any further advance by them. Under very heavy enemy machine gun fire he covered the advance of our bombers who succeeded in clearing the trench. His courage and coolness prevented a strong party of the enemy from reaching our trench.'
