Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
| Allen is listed as dying of his wounds on 12 Sep 1918, we are unable to verify the exact time and place that he was originally wounded as the war diary does not list any events with casualties. We do know that he died at the 42nd Casualty Clearing Station in Aubigny. |
