Sad news. I also served with him on Stalwart, found him to be a decent bloke. Vale Allen.

In my previous post I said that Allen was a top Guy, actually Allen was one of the best. I worked with Allen, for Allen and Allen became my most stalwart supporter, I believe we achieved much because we put aside rank and just got on and did what was necessary. A very good man, bless him.
