The American Red Cross Camp Chaplain, Rev. F.M. Eliot, talking with Lieut. Earl W. Porter,
from Atlantic, Iowa, one of the most recent recipients of our D.S.M.
He has already won the Croix de Guerre.
The reports recommend him for "cool" and courageous operation of his gun
while on a reconnaissance expedition at a low altitude far beyond the enemy lines.
Although attacked by 5 German battle planes, and wounded at the beginning of the combat,
he shot down one enemy machine, fought off the others and returned safely to friendly territory.
