LONDON. Dec. 26-CBy Mail to
New rk).-Among the many
heroes Of the war who have been
struck down before they had chance
to enjoy the reward of their bravery,
was Sergeant Heaney, of the Kings
Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, who
was killed in action two days after
being promoted lieutenant and re-
commended for the distinguished
conduct medal, for an exploit which
saved an entire division.
The Royal Lancasters have been
continuously in the firing line since
the outbreak of the war, and with
every man performing prodigies Of
valor it was difficult to single out
particular acts Of courage. Heaney's
chance came one day, when the situ-
alton as regards food supplies for
his division was becoming desperate.
For ten whole days the roads from
the trenches to the supply depot had
been rendered impossible by the hail
of shells rained upon them by the
enemy, and no fresh provisions could
be got to the troops in the firing line.
Heaney went to his major and Of
fered to take the wagons through the
rain and shells and bring back food.
! He did not say he would try He
said he would go and fetch the pro-
visions. The major said "impossi-
ble," and when he persisted, sheer
madness" Nevertheless the ser
geant was allowed to take few COM
rades, and with the wagons he SET
1 off down the shell torn track. Four
miles separated the trenches from
the depot. and every yard of the way
there and back lay under a devasta-
ting fire, but Heaney got through and
brought back provisions with a loss
of only two horses killed and one
man wounded.
He was promoted lieutenant on the
1 spot, and recommended for the ID
c. NJ. but two days later he was killed
in action at lie Trouquet. Staff Off
