THE National Freight Corporation's twentieth hero to receive the chairman's award for valour took on four armed robbers and was beaten up by two of them. He is Cornelius Kenneally, a Roadline checkerloader at Bermondsey, where the four masked men broke into steal cigarettes.
He and a colleague on the night shift were held at gunpoint, but he overpowered one of the thieves before being overpowered himself by another robber and beaten with guns by both of them.
His wife and three children must be very proud of him. Sir Robert Lawrence, chairman of the NFC, certainly is.
