C. D. BROWN<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">5th BATTALION THE DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY, T.F.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">JAMES CARTMELL DENNISON BROWN was the younger son of Sir Frank Brown, D.L., of Norton Priory, Stockton-on-Tees. He entered the School in 1907, and left in 1912 to enter Pembroke College, Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">On the outbreak of War he received his Commission and went to France on April 18th for Divisional Training, but owing to the German attack with asphyxiating gas his Division was at once pushed to the Front and engaged from the 23rd to the 29th in the second Battle of Ypres. On Sunday, April 25th, he was wounded twice. He was first treated at Poperinghe Hospital, but as it was shelled by the enemy he was removed to Hazebrouck, where he died on April 27th, 1915. Age 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">His Colonel wrote:- &#8220;He was one of the best Officers we had, and did his duty to the last. On the day he was hit he had done valuable reconnaissance work in the morning, and, when hit, had taken part in a very good little attack. Although wounded in two places, he showed his pluck by returning unhelped to our lines. It is only by such examples as his that we may hope to conquer the enemy and keep up the tradition of the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Another Officer wrote:- &#8220;We all liked him very much; he was such a cheerful fellow, and so conscientious that I knew that anything entrusted to him, however slight and wearisome, would be properly carried out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The Medical Officer said:- &#8220;He was a tremendous favourite with us all, and I can say I never had to attend to a pluckier lad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source : Memorials Of Rugbeians Who Fell In The Great War Vol 1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SECOND LIEUTENANT J.
