Sydney Allison was a neurologist, practicing in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast.
As a medical student spent much of the first world war as a Surgeon Probationer on destroyers.
He retained an interest in the sea, serving in the RNVR, in Belfast, and through the second world war.
In addition to his medical publications, he wrote on HMS Caroline (then the training ship for the Ulster division of the Royal Naval Reserve - now a museum ship in the Titanic Quarter in Belfast) and on Surgeon Probationers (published posthumously).

What can you tell us?close

There are occasions when we are unsure of the identity of a sitter or artist, their life dates, occupation or have not recorded their family relationships. Sometimes we have not recorded the date of a portrait. Do you have specialist knowledge or a particular interest about any aspect of the portrait or sitter or artist that you can share with us? We would welcome any information that adds to and enhances our information and understanding about a particular portrait, sitter or artist.
