		The Armstrong correspondence is also unusual for war-time, since Nell Floss Steel was the first of the two sent overseas in September 1914 to serve in a military hospital in Serbia, while her future husband was serving in army military camps in Texas City, Texas, at El Paso, Texas and Columbus, Ohio.
		In turnabout, George was later sent to France (September?-November 1918), while, as a result of her recent marriage to George, Nell had to remain in the United States, despite her eagerness to return to active war duty.

		George Armstrong, the former Arsenal winger, one of the heroes of their famous 1971 League and Cup double side, and latterly reserve team coach, has died suddenly after collapsing on the club's Hertfordshire training field, aged 56.
		In an age when the traditional winger was due to disappear, "Geordie" Armstrong, as he was always known, was the winger par excellence, able to play on the right or the left, two footed, and an unselfish creator of chances for other people with his accurate crosses.
		Typically, in the cup final, Armstrong popped up on either flank and very nearly scored when, on the far post, he surged powerfully in from the left to meet a right-wing cross from John Radford.
