IMAGE RIGHT: The missing British War Medal of Sapper Clement Charles ALLEN who served with the 2nd Division Signal Company, AIF during the First World War. Found many years ago by a very kind Western Australian, it is hoped that Clement’s next of kin may be found prior to October 2016 which will be the centenary of his departure from Australia’s shores.
His service number was 15931 and according to the First World War Embarkation Roll, he boarded HMAT Ulysses (A38) at Port Melbourne on the 25th October, 1916. Clement’s next of kin is recorded on his service record on hand at the National Archives of Australia, as being Florence Emily Maud ALLEN. At the time of Clement’s enlistment, she resided at Scarborough Street Glenelg in South Australia. She later moved to Maturin Road in Glenelg.

Thankfully, Clement Charles ALLEN survived the First World War and returned to Australia during July 1919. Please note: This medal is not for general sale and will only be returned to a descendant of Clement Charles ALLEN upon very strict proof of relationship.
