NotesThe GRO Index shows the birth of a George Allabush registered in the district of West Ham in the June Quarter of 1897. He was probably the son of George Allabush (Sr.) and his wife Henrietta nee Bramley, who appear to have been married in the district of St. George's East, London, in the December Quarter of 1894. A brother Thomas who possibly married Ada Coventry at St. George's East a year later, was widowed, as was George, by 1900.

In 1908, George Allabush, 9, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 84 Louisa Birt children en route to Knowlton, Quebec, Canada.

On February 2, 1916, at Montreal, Quebec, Canada, George Allabush, 18, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he resided at 111 Roberval Avenue, Cote St. Paul, Montreal, P.Q., Canada; that he was born in England; that his next of kin was his friend, Mrs. E. Dimick, who resided at 111 Roberval Avenue, Cote St. Paul, Montreal, P.Q., Canada; that his date of birth was April 4, 1897; that he was a farmer; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 feet 7-3/4 inches; medium complexion; grey eyes; black hair. He was a member of the Methodist faith. He had moles on his neck and back and stomach; and a birth mark on "private."

On August 28, 1918, Private George Allabush, 21, died during the Battle of Arras after having been reported missing earlier that day. He was recorded as the foster son of Mrs. Eliza Dimick, of 160, Roberval St., Cote St. Paul, Montreal. He is buried in Quebec Cemetery, Cherisy, France.

When leaving the "jumping off" position during operations on August 28 1918, Private Allabush was hit by a machine gun bullet. A comrade left him in the care of the Field Ambulance men but he died a few minutes later. Notification of burial was sent to his foster mother-Mrs Eliza Dimick, 160 Robervale St, Montreal

On October 16, 2005, the developers of a new housing estate in North Stifford, Essex, England, rededicated a war memorial which is situated within the new housing complex. The site of the new estate is that of the former Stepney Boys Home and the war memorial commemorates those that once stayed at the home and who gave their lives during the First World War. To keep the names of those that died for this country "alive" the developers, Persimmon Homes Essex, named the streets and roads after those that are listed on the memorial. Some of those listed as KIA were boys from the home who had been placed in boys homes in Australia and Canada.

Some of those listed included:

George Allabush/ Thomas Birchfield/Robert Bennett/George Clark/William Dominy/Joseph Elvin/William Fox/Albert Gunn/Thomas Harrington/Arthur Hosier/Arthur Legon/George Legon/Peter Luderman/Lt. B.W.Devas/W.J.E. Vincent.
