Thomas Henry Brown was born in Woolwich in 1850 and attested for the Royal Artillery on 8 April 1868. A tailor by profession, he served a few weeks in India from 11 March 1882, before transfer to Burma in April 1882. It was here that he contracted an illness causing his heath to give way; evacuated to Calcutta, the recipient’s Army Service Record makes plain the need to return to England forthwith.
