| Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during operations near BRAY on 22nd August, 1918. During the approach march to assembly line the untiring and gallant work done by Sergeant ELLIOT under shell and machine gun fire greatly inspired the men of the Battalion. Later when establishing a defensive flank, he took five men out and located the enemy's location. He also took a patrol up the BRAY ALBERT Road and after great difficulty succeeded in getting into touch with the troops on the left. owing to the critical position at the moment this reconnaissance was of the utmost important and value to the Battalion and the work done by this N.C.O. cannot be overestimated.'
