Notes - From notes of Meta Cheves Allen - 1964
Euart Allen worked for the Dominion Government as a Chemical Analyst at the Experimental Farm in Ottawa.
He was in an artillery unit in the war 1914-1918 in France.
During this war he was refused enlistment, so he trained two Ottawa regiments for the Reserve. His rank was Major, but could only be Captain in the Reserve. After the 1st war, he entered and graduated in chemistry from the University of Toronto; later married Marnie (Marion Harmer McElhinney). Marnie, as last year (1963) is teaching rug hooking once a week at night school, Ottawa.
They have two children:
-Patricia (Patsy), after qualifying at Teachers College, Hamilton, was posted to the Six Nations Reserve, Brantford. She appears to enjoy teaching and finds the financial returns much better than when nursing;
- John, wife Agnes and their two children are happy and healthy. John has received a promotion and enjoys his work as a Civilian Technician (electronics with the Air Force).
