I am just starting to research the WW1 career of my Grandfather Major James Bogue Elliott OBE. I wondered if anyone had any information on him already. I have copy of his record of service, a few momentoes and some anecdotal stories about this period of his life which I am writing down.

I saw some earlier conversation about him on this forum.
