Four machine gun crews to his credit was a
pretty good record for one days work. But
why leave a perfectly good trench half filled
with Germans? Brown didn't.
The hail of machine gun bullets could not
•top him. He was not thinking of them.
Shrapnel was bursting all around him. He
did not heed. His rifle was so hot he
couldn’t touch it so he laid it in the hollow of
his arm and kept on firing; the huns kept on
yelling “Kamerad!” and throwing down their
guns. Brown forgot danger and death, he for
got that he was alone against a hundred and
fifty germans. He forgot everything but his
job—Victory. And he walked proudly into
camp with one hundred and fifty-nine ger
man prisoners.
( We’ve got a big job over here, too. We must provide guns and shells
| and food and clothing for men with the spirit of Sergeant Brown—to
I ser,d them forward to Victory. Let’s do our job as he did his—fearlessly,
| persistently and quickly. Brown didn’t wait to do his duty—why should you?
