Military Medal 'During an attack by is Company on enemy position near VERMAND North West of ST. QUENTIN on 15th September 1918, this man, who is a platoon runner, under heavy hostile machine gun fire, carried important messages to his Company Commander. When his platoon Sergeant was badly wounded and lay in the open under direct heavy enemy machine gun fire, Private DELAPORTE, who was not on any duty at the time, went to his assistance and, helping him to cover, dressed his wounds, and then aided him to a place of safety. His coolness and gallant conduct under fire were an excellent example to all.'
