CALLS FOR PUBLIC TO CELEBRATE SHEFFIELD’S MOST DECORATED WW1 HERO Sheffield will remember one of its most heroic sons, whose four acts of bravery and gallantry saved hundreds of lives during the First World War, on Saturday 3 September at 1pm when he has a plaque unveiled in the city centre. The plaque will be unveiled at the Cenotaph war memorial in Sheffield city centre in honour of Major William Barnsley Allen (18921933), who was a British Army medical officer
decorated for gallantry four times during the First World War. Major Allen, who also studied for a degree in medicine at the University of Sheffield, was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) in 1916, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. Members of the public are invited to the ceremony, which will take place in Barker’s Pool and last for
approximately half an hour. The ceremony is the second of three memorial services to commemorate the Sheffield-born recipients of the VCs awarded during the First World War – each will be installed to mark the 100th anniversary since they were awarded. Last year, there was a ceremony to lay a plaque in honour of Sgt Maj John Raynes and next year, Private Arnold Loosemore will be
honoured. The Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Cllr Denise Fox, said: “Major William Allen was a much decorated war hero and Sheffield is rightly very proud of him. “In this period of commemoration for those associated with the First World War, it will be an absolute privilege to stand alongside his family to make a permanent memorial to his valour and honour in the city centre.”
Representatives from the Army Medical Services Reserves, Army Cadets, Sheffield University Officer Training Corps (UOTC) and Royal British Legion will be present to pay their respects to Major Allen. The Lord Mayor, Lord Lieutenant, The High Sheriff John Holt, Master Cutler Craig McKay and a representative from the Royal Military College will be laying wreaths at the Cenotaph.
