M.S.M. London Gazette 18 January 1919.

William James Allaway attested for the Middlesex Regiment at St. John’s Wood, and served with the 1st Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 11 August 1914. For his services during the Great War he was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal; unusually, although he held the acting rank of Warrant Officer Class II and Quarter Master Sergeant, his substantive rank was still that of a Private.
