Regiment about 13 years previously and served in India some eight
years a librarian to the regiment. On the outbreak of war he
proceeded to German East Africa where he served through the
campaign under General Smuts. The regiment then went to Egypt to
recuperate. Private (Corporal?) Allen came to England in November
1917 for two months leave during which he visited old friends in
Dover. In February he returned to Egypt and was sent to Palestine
were he saw fighting. Later he was sent to France to help in the
great offensive under Marshal Foch. In the first attack Corporal
Allen was severely wounded in the ankle and thigh and suffered
great hardship and privations before reaching a dressing station. He
eventually reached London and for some weeks seemed to be making a
good recovery but on October 5 1918 septic poisoning
set in and he passed away.
Private Allen's name
is the second on the headstone; above him is commemorated Serjeant
Beckanovitch of 1st Division Serbian Volunteers who died on 9
October 1918. At the foot of the headstone are the words, "At Rest".
