1st Battalion IRISH GUARDS - North Africa, Missing Personnel file COPY STATEMENT BY No. 2718549 Lance-Corporal A. CAMPBELL re No. 2721272 Lance-Corporal ELLIOT. On the evening of 27 April 1943 I found Lance-Corporal ELLIOT lying in the olive grove wounded above the eye and in the legs. After dressing his wounds myself and a party tried to take him back to the R.A.P. As he was in such a bad condition and we had no stretchers, it was found to be impossible to bring him back to the R.A.P. so we made him comfortable and left him in the olive grove, made our way back to the nearest R.A.P. and informed them there. When we left him, he was unconscious. When I first found him he was conscious and he told me that he was hit by a "sticky bomb" which had been thrown from a German armoured car. Signed A. CAMPBELL, Lance-Corporal, No. 2 Company, 1st Battalion IRISH GUARDS In the Field, 11 May 1943
