Amelia Lily Beatrice Elliott was the wife of 1894 Private Walter Vivian ELLIOTT although it appears that this marriage was unknown to his mother or the Army until after his death. This letter from the wife originated on Remembrance Day, 1920, a reminder that it was time for her to collect her husband's medals.
