His father was a local businessman. Horace Brown joined the militia at around the age of 15 (42nd Regiment), and when war was declared a few years later he immediately joined the 2nd Battalion (September 22, 1914). He fought at Neuve Chappelle and Ypres and Ploegsteert in 1915, and at Ypres again in 1916. He was wounded on June 13, 1916 at Observation Ridge on Hill 60. As a result he was invalided out of service, and returned to Canada where he was sent to officer training school and spent several months as an army recruiting officer in Carleton Place. In the autumn of 1917 he enlisted in the Royal Naval Air Service and returned to England. In October 1918 he had a cycling accident. As a result of the injury to his chest he developed pneumonia and remained invalided until just before Christmas. By the end of January 1919 he contracted influenza which eventually developed into pneumonia and he died at Eaton Hospital, London on 18 February, 1919. James Horace Brown had two sisters (Margaret and Bessie) as well as two brothers, Howard and Roy. Arthur Roy Brown was a First World War flying ace.Additional information:Note on the state of conservation:Most of the negatives are in fragile to poor condition, possibly due to poor developing.Custodial history:The photographs were donated by Horace Brown's brother, Howard Brown.Source:PrivateOther accession no.:1977-135 NPC -
