Biography:

Mr. Allen never was a person to make decisions that easy. From the moment his mother put him on the Red Cross to dedicate his British life to the world, Edward's life seemed to have turned upside down.
Mission after mission, job after job, it was always this cycle until the idyllic year of 1916 when Edward turned twenty.

He was relatively well physically, but mentally damaged. To him, the loss of his father in 1912 aboard the Titanic, the twin ship on which Allen would devout her time as a nurse. Allen traveled with his mother and father registered in cabin C-78. Edward never got over the death of his father and the boy he met in London before leaving, a couple that today would be considered love at first sight. When Allen turned 18 in the midst of World War I, he evacuated to Denmark to seek a new life with his mother, Ellen Meredith Allen (Evans).

Since he was little, Edward Allen had a dream of becoming a doctor. He did not expect that one day he would fulfill this purpose aboard hospital ships like the R.M.S. Britannic. In November 1916, ready to sacrifice his life in the midst of the war zone, Edward and many other doctors left Southampton for the Aegean Sea to help the wounded soldiers.
