Uganda Journal - Vol 20 (1956), 210 - The Wilsons of early Uganda by H.B. Thomas - The Rev Allen Wilson was a layman member of Bishop Tucker's 1895 Uganda party which included the first ladies for the Uganda mission. They reached Kampala 4 October 1895. Almost all his service was spent in Busoga. He was soon posted to Chief Miro's in northern Kigulu where a station had been established by the Rev. W.A. Crabtree towards the end of 1894; and when, in 1897, Miro moved his headquarters south to Iganga, it was decided to follow him with the mission station. Allen Wilson should be held in remembrance for the devotion with which he maintained his position year after year, often single-handed, in what was at the time accounted the most unhealthy country inhabited by the most unresponsive people in the whole of Uganda. In October 1897 the Sudanese mutineers retreating from the Ravine station passed to the south of Iganga and occupied Luba's Fort. For awhile it was thought in England that it was he and not Norman Wilson who had been murdered. Allen Wilson was among the missionaries who helped with the wounded at the siege of Luba's. He is mentioned in despatches (Blue Book. Africa No. 1 (1899), p.11); and received the 'Uganda Mutiny' medal with two clasps (UJ 10 (1946), 147). In May 1900 he handed over Iganga to the Rev. S.R. Skeens who tells something of the conditions then prevailing in UJ 4 (1936-7), 190-3. Ordained in 1901 he continued to work in Busoga, and from his station at Kamuli he took his share in the famine relief measures in 1908. He was Rural Dean in Busoga from 1916 to 1925 when he retired. His later years were spent in parochial livings in his native Southern Ireland and at Finningham, Suffolk. He died at Eastbourne 11 August 1955, aged 88.
