== Early life ==
Allan was born at Christ's Hospital independent school, Horsham, Sussex, where his father, G.A.T. Allan, was clerk to the school. He was educated at St Paul's School, London. At the age of 15, he had a leg amputated following an accident during Officers' Training Corps exercises.〔 His hopes of joining the Southern Railway as a cadet were dashed as result of his failure to pass the school certificate examination. He was nevertheless offered a position in the Southern Railway's Public Relations Office at by Sir John Elliot. After the outbreak of the Second World War, he was exempt from military service due to the loss of his leg. He stayed at the Southern Railway handling public enquiries including ones from railway enthusiasts and producing the company's magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ian Allan: publisher & locospotter )〕
