Experiences
of Captain Vernon Carlisle Brown MC &
bar in World War One.
The web has some photographs of memorabilia from that
period. It is a transcription of
a diary kept by Vernon Brown during his 20 month stint in
the battle zone of France. The diary gives details of actions and an impression of life in the trenches. It includes some philosophical musing about the nature of war and human interactions. Vernon Carlisle Brown was born in Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia on 13th January 1893. He spent his early life in Gippsland and moved with his mother to 15 Mercer Road Armadale in his teenage. He went to school at Caulfield Grammar and to University of Melbourne to study Medicine, receiving his MB BS degrees in December 1915. The degree was shortened by a year with the deletion of women’s and children’s health issues, thus increasing the supply of medical officers for war duties. He enlisted in the Australian Army Corps in 1916 and was sent to Europe in December 1916. After some advanced training in England in early 1917 he was posted to the war front in France and served there till late 1918.MORE Details |
