Allison is a ‘jack of all trades’, who likes to keep busy volunteering at local churches and helping his family and friends with odd jobs.
He enlisted in WW2 as a mechanic and travelled to places like Amsterdam and France fixing equipment along the way.
He believes the reason he is still able to live on his own, drive and work is thanks to the healthy habits he followed his whole life. In his 100 years of life Allison has never drank or smoked, quite a feat for someone that endured WW2.
Allison says he used to sell his rationed cigarettes to other soldiers and use the money to buy chocolates.
