Major Whitall was a well known book collector and bibliophile. Struck by Allen's poem "The Blindman" published in 1923 Whitall established "The Blindman Prize" a $250 annual prize for the best poem administered by the Poetry Society of South Carolina. It is clear from all this that Allen was very close to the Whitalls. Allen's account of the American front in France in the summer of 1918. Allen was born in Pittsburgh in 1889 graduated from Pitt in 1915 and served as a 2nd lieutenant in the 18th Pennsylvania Infantry on the Mexican border in 1916 during the Pancho Villa Expedition. That year he published a collection of poems Ballads of the Border.
