Pte. Arthur Brown
British Army 7th Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment
from:Newcastle, Staffordshire
(d.5th Apr 1916)
Private Arthur Brown was killed in action in Mesopotamia, he was my Great Grandfather. Not much is known of him other than when he died his brother Albert took over the family and became the husband to my Great Grandmother. I am seeking his WW1 death Penny sold some years ago by a family member. It's taken years of research to find out these details and now he can rest in peace. He is buried in Basra, my son who is a current serving Officer in the RAF, took part in the Iraq war. He telephone me one night saying he had visited a war memorial of WW1 soldiers. Little did we know that his GG Grandfather's name was on that memorial.
