Major General Terry de la Mesa Allen, Sr. (April 1, 1888 – September 12, 1969) was a division-level United States Army officer during World War II. Allen was a decorated World War I veteran who commanded the 1st Infantry Division in North Africa and Sicily during 1942-43. He was later selected to lead the 104th Infantry Division as divisional commander, a post he held until the end of the war. ==Early years== Allen was born in Fort Douglas, Utah, to Col. Samuel Allen and Consuelo "Conchita" Alvarez de la Mesa. Allen's family had a long line of military tradition.〔 Besides his father, Allen's maternal grandfather was Colonel Carlos Alvarez de la Mesa, a Spanish national who fought at Gettysburg for the Union Army in the Spanish Company of the "Garibaldi Guard", officially known as the 39th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, during the American Civil War.〔(Arlington National Cemetery )〕 Allen grew up in various military bases because of his father's military career and in 1907, received an appointment to the United States Military Academy (West Point) in New York.〔(Time Magazine: Terry Allen and His Men )〕 Unlike most American World War II generals, Allen was also a Roman Catholic.〔p.161 Snape, Michael ''God and Uncle Sam: Religion and America's Armed Forces in World War II'' Boydell & Brewer Ltd, 21 May 2015〕
