Notes |
- Elliott was baptized at Mallala methodist Church. he spent a few years at Mallala and then his parents moved to a farm in Lameroo Where he finished his schooling. Sunday School, Church and tennis were his chief interests.
In 1940, owing to the economic situation and poor seasons, the family returned to Adelaide. Elliott joined the R.A.A.F. and was posted to Queensland as a Flt.. Mechanic. He was badly injured when hit by the wing of a plane returning from Darwin after the Bombing 19.2.1942. A long period was spen in hospital then, and later in 1956.
After the war he worked in Weymouth Motors but he retired early because of poor health. His interest were mostly the West Croydon Methodist Church and growing roses and chrysanthemums for competition. He was a kindly gentleman and a friend to many, exhibiting great physical courage in his many health difficulties. (Tucker Family in Australia 1992)
