I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'landed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'received a hero's treatment' is the wordplay.
'a hero's' can be anagrammed to 'ASHORE'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'when' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "Hoarse being no longer at sea" , "Going on land from sea" , "Toward land from the sea" , "in port?" , "on terra firma" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
