Cpl Francis L Elliott - Death Date: 7 Feb 1917
Service Number 9461
Corps, Regiment or Unit Gloucestershire Regiment.
Private Francis Llewellyn Elliott, aged 20, born Leomhall, Gloucestershire.
There is a MiC and Service Medal Rolls for a Corporal 9461 Francis L. Elliott, 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, who first landed in France on the 13th August 1914. The remarks column is noted he died 7th February 1917. I suspect Corporal 9461 Francis Llewellyn (Frank) ELLIOT, may have died post discharge and only recently been accepted amongst the war dead. He has no entry in Soldiers Died in the Great War, an HMSO publication from the 1920’s. His webpage on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, (CWGC), shows him listed in the United Kingdom Book of Remembrance. That is usually a placeholder until the correct place of commemoration can be identified \ agreed. Going back to the MiC, his mother applied for her sons 1914 Star in November 1918. Her address then was 41 Acacia Road, Sydenham. There are no obvious surviving service records.
