Camp Allen, the original home of the Philippine Military Academy (which began as the officers school of the Philippine Constabulary), is named after him. In 1941 an attack transport formerly known as the Wenatchee and the President Jefferson' was taken over by the U.S. navy and renamed Henry T. Allen. The Alaskan geologist, Alfred Hulse Brooks, once wrote that, "No man through his own individual explorations has added more to our knowledge of Alaska than Lieutenant Allen."
