Henry
Thomas Allery, 396, was born at Deptford, the son of
Henry William and Julia Allery. He was five feet six
inches tall, with brown eyes and hair. He had a tattoo
and a burn scar on his right fore-arm.
He was nearly 35 years old and was
working as a bricklayer in Fremantle, Australia, when
war was declared. Before going to Australia he had
twelve years of service in the East Kent Regiment. He
immediately offered his services again, and joined the
Australian Imperial Force. He was assigned to the 11th
Battalion and by September 1914, had the rank of Corporal
but reverted to Private in January 1915.
He left Fremantle on 2nd November
1914, aboard the "Ascanius", and landed on
Gallipoli on April 25th 1915. He served until
he was wounded in a left foot toe and admitted to
hospital on "Ionian" on 1st May. He was evacuated to
Egypt but returned to Gallipoli in June and in July was
severely wounded in the abdomen by shrapnel, dying on
the day of his admittance, 5th July 1915, on board the
hospital ship "Neuralia". He
was buried at sea, and is commemorated on the Lone Pine
memorial, Turkey.
During the war his parents lived at No.1 Sunnybank Tower Hamlets Dover.
A further associated address was 46 St James
Street, Dover. His parents later lived at 29 Gardner's
Court, Chatham.
