He was 23. His brother, Gunner Matthew Elliot,aged 29, Service Number 6941, also fell but the fortunes of war denied him the honour of a soldier’s grave. He is therefore commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial. He served with the 4th Brigade, Australian Field Artillery.
Both were born Delny, Ross-shire, Scotland. Delny (Scottish Gaelic: Deilgnidh) is a small hamlet in the parish of Kilmuir-Easter in Ross-shire, Scotland
They were sons of John and Margaret Jane Elliot.
The brothers are remembered on the Kilmuir Easter War Memorial. Kilmuir Easter is a parish in the county of Ross and Cromarty, Scotland, 4 miles South of Tain. It is bounded by the Cromarty Firth, of which it commands a view. It contains the hamlets of Nigg, Kincardine, Ederton, Logie Easter, and Rosskeen.
