(L-R):Lieutenant S.R. Elliott... Also, Lt. Elliott might be wearing a Canada title....
Lt S.R. Elliott profile.jpgI know where I've seen the name before. After he retired, S.R. Elliot (note one "T" not two) wrote the history of the Canadian Intelligence Corps Scarlet to Green (1981). His bio from the book:

"Major Stuart Robert (Bob) Elliot (1922-2015) enlisted in the Royal Canadian Artillery in 1942 before later transferring to the Canadian Intelligence Corps. After completing Japanese language training, he served in the South East Asia Command in India, Malaya and Java (Indonesia). Obtaining a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia in 1948, his professional career subsequently included joining the Defence Research Board from 1949-52, serving as an intelligence officer in the Canadian Army from 1952-1972 and working as the Information Officer for the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, where he was responsible for The Military Balance, until his retirement in 1987. For over 15 years, he intensively researched and wrote the first edition of Scarlet to Green (pub. 1981) in support of the Canadian Military Intelligence Association’s History Project."

I'll be at the RCMI this week and hopefully will have a chance to look up the remaining officers on the Army List.

Cheers,
Dan.
