"I'd appreciate you helping me to a better place." I heard this in a videogame. I think 'go' or 'get' must be added between 'me' and 'to'. Maybe the speaker made a mistake of leaving it out? The speaker was a British and the year was 1918. Was it acceptable and common to leaving it out at that time in the UK?

Actually this strikes me as a modern way of putting it, it's certainly not old-fashioned. There are a lot of phrases like this: Help me to a seat Help me up Help me into the car It's very common.

The sentence is clear as is. Adding ‘go’ or ‘get’ are two of many possible alternate wordings, but not required.
