He was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 9 November 1907]: "Francis Augustus Heathfield Eliott, Commanding North-West Border Riflemen, Cape Colony". The decoration was awarded for services in the Battle of Eenzaamheid, 20 September 1907. He was twice mentioned in Despatches by the High Commissioner for South Africa, for conduct on the German Frontier (South-West Africa) in 1907, when he was operating in conjunction with the Imperial German Troops against Morenga. Besides the DSO, he received the 2nd Class Order of the Royal Crown of Prussia with Swords, and the German South West Africa Commemorative Medal with clasp for 'Kalahari 1907'. He became Major in the Cape Colonial Forces, and District Inspector in the Cape Mounted Police. He served in the European War, 1914-18. He took part in the campaign in South-West Africa, under General Botha, as Lieutenant Colonel in command of the 3rd Regiment, South African Mounted Riflemen.
