Glass is dedicated to Richard Todd Ellison, 2nd Life Guards.

"He served in the army as a captain in the 2nd Life Guards and then as a Major in the Life Guards Reserve Regiment (1915-1916).

A recollection of the battle at Mons specifically mentions him being one of the first officers into action.

He survived the war and on his return to Grantham, became a Magistrate for Lincolnshire and belonged to several London clubs including Boodles"
