Spr. Leo Patrick McAllister
British Army 506th Field Coy. Royal Engineers
from:Newcastle upon Tyne
(d.30th Dec 1918)
Leo McAllister was my great-uncle (my grandmother's brother). He was born in Gateshead, County Durham on 21st August 1889. At his birth and baptism he was registered as Patrick Leo McAllister, and is shown as Patrick L. McAllister, living with his mother and father, in the 1891, 1901, and 1911 Censuses. However, when he married his wife Matilda Ann Wood on 21st April 1912, his name is given as Leo P. McAllister. All of the documents about his military service show him as Leo Patrick McAllister. He died in Greece right after the end of WW1.
