1. Brown’s Corner Marker
In proud and loving memory of Hilton U. Brown, Jr. 2nd LT. U.S. Field Artillery. Who played at Mimic Warfare on these grounds.
The last lines of comic verse, composed in France while on a far-flung battlefield, reflect his cheerful disposition toward all men.
Put on my tomb my humble name
and let below these words proclaim:
“He fought against gloom”.
The fight resume,
go, make some others happy.
