Reginald Hugo Brown
British Army Royal Army Medical Corps
from:18 Harrow St, Derby
My maternal grandfather Reginald Brown was born in 1892. He was 22 yrs old when the war started. He joined the RAMC in 1914, shortly after Mons, and served with them up to early 1918.
He transferred to the RAF and was promoted to Corporal. He was probably ground crew. He served until the end of the war. He suffered a permanent rupture when an aircraft engine slipped when being worked on and fell on him.
His medals are the "Pip, Squeak and Wilfred" set. He was very supportive of the British Legion after demob.
His civvy street job was as a self employed painter and decorator
