For his heroic action in this engagement he was posthumously awarded the D.S.C. Not until April 29, 1919, was the fact of his death fully established. A letter from the American Military Mission in Berlin bearing that date states definitely that Lieut. Beane was killed in action on Oct. 30, 1918, and that he was buried near the place where he fell. Capt.F. W. Zinn, of the Air Service, reported that he was buried two kilometres east of Brieulles-sur-Bar. Citations: D.S.C. For extraordinary heroism in action near Bantheville, France, Oct. 29, 1918. When Lieut. Beanes patrol was attacked by eight enemy planes (Fokker type) he dived into their midst in order to divert their attention from the other machines of his group and shot down one of the Fokkers in flames. Four other Fokkers then joined in the battle, one of which was also destroyed by this officer. (Signed) Pershing.<br></i>
