He was the son of Charles and Jeannie Brown of 13 (now 31) Kilnburn, Newport.
He was killed at sea off the coast of Algeria aboard a minesweeper, HMS Algerine, by a torpedo from an Italian submarine on 15th November, 1942, aged 34. Eighty lives were lost in this sinking but for some reason none of them is recorded on the Commonwealth War Graves website.
