I wonder what the address is C/O,Strand,I cant make it out. It would be good to trace any of his cousins that served in the Military during WW1,there are indications he was related to the Ascroft and Greville families.

Grant Thankyou Chaps. Capt Guy Ellot Harcourt came from his Father George Simon Harcourts first marriage to a Jesse Rolls but there was a second marriage to a Charlotte Lucas and they had a son named Otto Simon Henry Harcourt. This chap Otto Simon had sons who are believed to have been in the Army,its these sons,cousins to Guy Elliot who are very interesting in military history but I cant find them.

Hello Baron Interested to see your Harcourt comments and other material elsehere, if I interpret them correctly, Guy Elliott was born in Jersey 1869 to John SC Harcourt and Harriet EE Harcourt (nee Plumridge) Guy had an older sister Evelyn May who was born in Natal, S Africa 1868, and a younger one, Gertrude Jessie Rolls born 1873 (possibly also in Jersey). The family was in Jersey in 1871, but in Wimborne in 1881. However, you may be interested in another Harcourt who enlisted in the AIF on 2 Sept 1914 giving his age as 21, being born in St Helier, Jersey, and his mother being called Averyl (this later appearing to change to Marjorie). The man's name was Vernon Harcourt, and his service number was 142. He received an MiD and an MSM. I dont know if it is a help.
