Owen A BROWN

Lance Corporal 16750, 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment. Died of wounds Tuesday, 5th November 1918. Age 24. Born Arlesey, Beds, resident and enlisted Letchworth. Born at Arlesey, Beds. Son of William and Fanny Brown, of 2, Ridge Avenue, Letchworth, Herts. Buried in north-west part of Jolimetz Communal Cemetery, Nord, France.

Message from Michael Cross - 14th April 2002: "I was at this man's grave recently (no personal connection; I visit Jolimetz most years) and thought I would mention to you that his grave receives a poppy each Remembrance Sunday from some locals who were originally from England. His is a lonely grave, being the only CWG in a French Communal Cemetery. I visit this place only because my Granddad was there in 1918 - L/C Brown's grave is the only obvious sign that the war passed this way. The adjoining Forest of Mormal has rather more significance in relation to the Great War."
