A legacy of £l7OO has fallen to Franz Hein, a poor labourer in Bavaria, as a reward for aid to a wounded and bntombed officer in the Great War. After a search of many years, a solicitor discovered Hein as one of three soldiers who, under fire, dug a wounded major from the. debris of a shelled dug-out and carried him to a firstaid station. A few years later the major died, bequeathing £5OOO to his rescuers. Hain is the first to be identified.
