John (Jack) Allisey (SN 810) was a 23 year old saddler from Burnbank Street Ballarat at the time of his enlistment on July 12th 1915. He trained at Flemington before joining the 31st Battalion. He embarked from Melbourne on the Wandilla on November 9th 1915. On July 16th 1916, just three days before the tragic charge at Fromelles, he was wounded in action, suffering a gunshot wound to the forehead. His wound was initially assessed as severe, but just a week later he was charged with being drunk and absent from the hospital. The severity of his wound was then downgraded to mild. In early 1917 he was promoted to the rank of Saddler Corporal and transferred to the 5th Divisional Train. In late 1918 he was hospitalised with influenza but recovered and returned safely to Australia in March 1920. He died on August 10th 1954 aged 61.
