Sir Fred Allen

[Dave Homewood]

Does anyone here have any idea how I can make contact with former All Black and All Black coach Sir Fred Allen?

He was apparently an officer in the Third Division of the 2nd NZEF, serving in the Pacific. We would like to approach him to see if he'd be keen to be interviewed for our WWII veteran filming project.

I have read he lives at Whangaparoa or somehwere around there. But there doesn't seem to be a listing for him in the directory there.

Any leads would be most welcome.

Maybe try the Auckland RFU for starters?

I have emailed them.

Dave, I tried to send you a pm about this but couldn't make it work.I have some information that may be of some help.

[Dave Homewood]

Thanks Toko, I will send you an email.

By the way, I heard back from the good people at the Auckland RFU, they have kindly handed my email onto Sir Fred's secretarial staff and I am awaiting any reply that may or may not come from them. Cheers.
