235099 Sgt. Reginald Hercules Allen MM.British Army 6th Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment from:Birmingham Reginald Allen was the unknown grandfather of my husband, who died watching Birmingham play in Sheffield 1956. Reginald served with the 1st and 6th Battalions, Dorsetshire Regiment, received the MM and was clearly a brave man, but sadly nothing is known about his war nor what happened to his medals. His son, my husband's father, never talked about him nor his own experience of army life in the Second World War. There is no family surviving who would know. However, Reginald deserves to be remembered for his part in that terrible war.
