Biography contributed by Paul Trevor

PRIVATE H. J. ALLARD.

Private H. J. Allard, writing to his mother from "'somewhere in France," says:—
"A few lines, hoping to find you and all at home in the best of health. Once again I am in hospital, although this time it is not nearly so dangerous as the last time, in Fargo. I suppose it is stale news to you. This is how it happened. One morning, after standing to all night, I had breakfast. I laid down in my dug-out to go to sleep. I got to sleep all right, but when I woke up I found myself in one of the Army Medical Corps dressing stations. I was told that a shell hit my dug-out and blew it in on me. I was covered with mud and was very sore and stiff from head to foot. I was sent to hospital, but I am all right again now and will be going back to the firing line in a day or two." from Morning Bulletin 3 Jul 1917 (nla.gov.au)
