How Lance-Corporal Michael OLeary Won The V.C. At Cuinchy.     On February 1st 1915, in the brisk action at Cuinchy, the Germans captured a trench held by the Irish and Coldstream Guards.  A tremendous storm of gun and rifle fire was poured upon the trench with a view to its recapture.  During the action, Lance-Corporal OLeary spotted a German machine gun which would play havoc with our men when they advanced.  Orders were given for the Irish to go forward, but OLeary meanwhile had not forgotten the machine gun.  He put on his best pace, and within a few seconds found himself in a corner of the German trench on the way to his goal.  Immediately ahead of him was a barricade, but its five defenders quickly paid with their live the penalty of standing between an Irishman and his hearts desire.
