__ALLAN GREEN__ 2nd Lieutenant. West Yorkshire Regiment. Allan Green was a student from September 1909, to April (???). He came to the school with a Drake and Tonson's Scholarship and was always looked upon as a most promising pupil. After he left the Day School he passed through the Building Trades Department of the Technical School and afterwards attended classes at the Bradford Technical College, where he passed the Preliminary Examination of RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects). He was during this time articled with Messrs. Moare & Crabtree, Architects, Keighley, and was held in high esteem by his principals. Allan Green entered the Artists' Rifles in December, 1915, when he was between 18 an 19 years of age, and went out to France in April 1916. In December 1916, he was recommended for a commission and went through a Special Training Course in France until March 1917, when he was gazetted and drafted into the West Yorkshire Regiment. He was killed instantly by shrapnel on the 17th August, 1917, whilst marking out work for his company, who were in action at the time. Lieutenant Allen Green possessed a cheerful and happy disposition and his many good qualities won for him the respect of his men and the esteem of his brother officers. We offer our respectful sympathy to Mr and Mrs Green, who have lost a good and brave son.
