I AM writing an article about Frederick Allen for the Black Country Society.

His son Sydney – who became a teacher after leaving the army – moved to Bromsgrove around the 1960s. If any of his family still live locally and have information they are willing to share about Frederick, I would be very pleased to hear from them.

I can be contacted at coralb03@ aol.com or 61a Linthurst Newtown, Blackwell, Bromsgrove B60 1BS.
