Alfred Brown, from Fencehouses, Sunderland, Co. Durham, attested into the Yorkshire Regiment for service during the Great War. He served initially in Muldros, the Balkans, with the 6th Battalion from 14 July 1915, shortly before landing at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, on 6 August 1915. He saw later service with the Royal Irish Rifles and was awarded the Military Medal whilst serving with the 1st Battalion, most probably for bravery on the Western Front, during the Hundred Days Offensive in the run up to the conclusion of hostilities.
