Distinguished Service Cross Citation
    Harold Brown (Army serial. No. 3130988), private, Company D, 308th Infantry. For
extraordinary heroism in action near Charlevaux, France, October 4, 1918. When the
first two battalions of his regiment had been surrounded by the enemy, Pvt. Brown
volunteered to accompany a patrol for the purpose of establishing liaison with the
forward troops, knowing from the fate of previous patrols that the mission would
probably prove fatal. He was killed as the patrol was attempting unsuccessfully to
reach the forward battalions. Emergency address: Mrs. Grace G. Brown, wife, 2610 I
Street, Bakersfield, Calif.   Residence at enlistment: R. F. D. No. 2, Box No. 186,
Bakersfield, Calif.
