Notes:

The following history of Allan's military/naval service needs further scrutiny. Dates do not tally.
There is a letter, in the Winston Spencer Churchill records, from Sir Max Aitken, dated 10 Sep 1914.
The letter is a letter of thanks from Sir Max thanking Winston Churchill for obtaining a commission for his brother Allan into the Royal Naval Division.
The "Who's Who" Information is suspect if the following is correct.
"Served with the Royal navy 1914-1916. Retiring from the navy becoming a Lieutenant in the RNR. He then joined the Canadian Army in which he served with the 11th CIF and the CEF as a Brigade Major. Awarded the Military Cross, when he was Major with the 4th Canadian Division WW1. He was wounded at Gallipoli, (something strange here because if he was injured at Gallipoli, which was evacuated in Dec 1915, whilst he was in the army, yet supposedly he was in the navy at that time. Also the 4th Canadian Division was formed by Canadians in the UK in 1916The following history of Allan's military/naval service needs further scrutiny. Dates do not tally.
