Photo of William Skeffington Elliott
Here is a photo of Sgt William S Elliott KIA 1st July 1916. He is the one on the right as you look at the photograph. The man on the left as you look at it is his brother 3748 D Elliott. He joined up with a third brother in 1917. They both managed to survive the war although D Elliott was wounded very badly. He had a third brother 3749 C Elliott who also served and survived the war. Still searching for a photo of him. -
