1951년 1.4후퇴 당시 이 곳 법원읍 동문리(배내)에서 1개 소대 규모의 미군 병력이 후퇴하고 있었는데 갑자기 들이닥친 적군의 전차에 멸사직전에 이르렀다. 이때에 분대장 직을 맡고 있던 케니는 부하2명과 함께 육탄으로 전차를 잡고 장렬히 전사하여 소대를 구출했다. 이에 케니의 업적을 기리고자 대한상무회 파주군연합본회가 1958년 7월 4일 전공비를 건립하였으나 오랜 세월로 비문이 훼손되어 대한민국재향군인회 파주시회가 다시 건립하였음. 2019. 12. 1. 대한민국재향군인회 파주시회 During The Third Battle of Seoul(the January-Fourth Retreat(Korean : 1.4후퇴)) in 1951, while one platoon of the U.S. Troops was retreating here in Dongmun-ri(Baenae). Beopwon-eup, it was about to be extreminated because the enemy tank was suddenly spotted. At this moment.
