Drummer Spencer Bent Aaked a
Question That Brought Sarcastic
Reply He Dared and Brought
Wounded Comrade to Cover
Under Fire
By P. M. Sarie
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
London, Dec. SO, (By mail to New
York) "Why doegn't someone go
and help him 7"
"Why not go yourself?"
The sequel to the above question
and answer in the trenches at Le
Cheer, Franeo-Iielglan frontier, was
that Drummer Spencer John Bent,
1st Fast Lancashire Regiment, quali
fied for the Victoria Cross.
The official account of the act of he
roism for which (he V. C. was award
ed atatea that Bent also displayed re
markable presence of mind and -took
command of his platoon when the of
ficers and platoon-leaders had been
shot down, but if it hadn't been for
that sarcastic query, "Why not go
yourself?" he might not have got the
little bronse cross hich is the ambi
tion of every British soldier.
Bent, Who ia home wounded, tells
the story In a very matter of fact way:
"We were, as usual, taking our hour
turns alternatively, watching for the
enemy, and I had snuggled down into
my hole. We had no officer in our
trench, and my platoon leader had
gone to visit a post when someone
passed the word down the line that
the battalion was to retire. This was
being done when I woke up, I start
ed to follow them, when I remember
ed a German trumpet Which I had
found, and had carried with me for
some time.
"I did not want to lose it, so went
back for it, chancing a bullet When
I got into th trench I saw someone
coming around the corner, and think
ing it was a German, I waited for
him till he had crawled up to me. I
then poked my lifle into him and asked
him who he was. It was Sergeant
Waller, who told me that the retire
ment was the wrong order. I at once
jumped out of the trench and ordered
the men back. While I was doing
this, an officer came up, and after I
had told him what had happened he
directed me to get the men back while
he went after some others. i
In the early morning the Germans

evidently thoukht we had left tiw
trenches for after ' a bombardment
they attacked. They came on doing
a sort of goose step. Our officers
kept our fire back, and in the mean
time Lieut Dyer brought up a ma
chine gun. When the Germans were
about 400 yards off, the order was
given to fire, and tbey went down in
hundreds, very few of them getting
back to their own trenches.
"After breakfast, private McNulIy
went out of the trench, and on re
turning was hit in the pit of the stom
ach. He fell, and the Germans were
tryintr to hit him again; you could
see the earth flying all round him
I said, 'Why doesn't someone go out
and help him,?' and got the reply
Why not go yourself?' I wsnt. To
make it more difficult for the Germ
ans to hit me, I zigzagged towards
him, along the ground. Tlhey did
not snip at me while I was advancing
but as soon as I got hold of McNul-
ly's shoulder something seemed to
take my feet from under me, and
slipped down by him.
"This happened close to the wall of
ruined convent and just as I fell
several bullets struck the wall, send
ing a piece of plaster against my left
eye. I thought 1 was wounded and
started to rub the b'lood away, as I
thought, but fortunately the skin was
only grazed. I felt it was time to
get out of it and knowing it was im
possible to stand up, I hooked my feet
under McNuIly's arms, and using my
elbows, managed to drag myself and
him back to the trenches, about
twenty-five yards away. When I got
him there I went for a doctor and
stretcher bearers, and as far as I
know he is still alive. Eight days lat
er Igot a bullet through the flesh of
my right leg, and had to be taken to
the hospital."
Tragic experiences of a survivor
of a mined steamer were related when
the steam trawler Remagio landed at
Grimsby, a Swede named Neilsen, one
of the crew of the Danish steamship
Marie, which was blown up by a Ger
man mine in the North Sea.
After the disaster the crew escaped
from the sinking ship in two lifeboats,
seven in each. The captain's boat was
picked up by the Wilson liner Juno.
Neil son was in the mate's boat, which
in darkness and rough seas became
separated from the other boat. Though
they had food, the bitter cold and
the repeated drenchings by waves
caused the men in the boat terrible
sufferings.
On the second day one man went
mad and jumped overboard, and later
two others collapsed and were washed
out of the boat. The same night a I
fourth and fifth man died, leaving
Nielson and the mate alone. The next
day the mate succumbed, and Neil-
sen was left tossing in a boat hair
full of water. At night he saw
trawler's lights and shouted with all
his strength, and fainted when he
heard the fishermen's answering hails,
