It is true that Tolkien didn't like allegorie, but it is obvious that some of his experience from the wars came into his book. Like that passage in the black marches when the dead are described. Tolkien didn't want to use allegory, but the experiences he had are not easely denied, even though he didn't put it in on purpose.
