Help with Royal Engineers Units
« on: Wednesday 22 April 15 17:35 BST (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone could help at all with establishing in which RE unit Henry Augustus Allen, born 1886 in Croydon, might have served during WW1.
He volunteered for the RE in Jan 1915 signing up as a sapperin Norwoord, South London, for the duration of the war [Surrey Recruitment Registers]. He first entered a theatre of war [France] on 1 Sep 1915.
He received the Victory, War, and Silver Star Medals [rolls and medal cards available].
His service number was 63957.
I can find no service record for him and otherwise have no other details or clues about his service.
