Sgt Harold T. Brown age 91, passed away on Jan 20, 2022. He was survived by his wife Josephine of 67 yrs, & his 4 daughters Lorraine Brown, Kathleen Curtis, Vanessa Noxon, and Patricia Wilson. Harry was a P.O.W. in Korea from 1950-1953. He survived the death march. He attempted to escape 3 times and when caught paid a price for it. He was a man of valor and bravery. He was saddened to see his friends and others die. When the peace talks started conditions got a little better. He thought he would never get out alive. Ultimately Harry became very ill. The Chinese, his captives, used experimental methods, that miraculously, brought him back to health.

Harry would entertain his fellow prisoners by reading books, then retelling the stories to them. They enjoyed this very much. He had an uncanny memory. After 3 yrs of torture & uncertainty, he returned home. In honor of his service and deeds, he received 2 bronze stars, 1 w/v for valor, among other medals and awards. He had a huge heart and sense of humor. Harry enjoyed fishing, golfing astronomy and writing. He cherished time at his camp, fishing at Lake George. He was buried with Military Honors at Saratoga National Cemetery in New York.

Upon completion of this book, Harry went into the V.A. hospital. God allowed him time to say his goodbye’s to friends and family. Shortly afterwards, he passed away. He was a wonderful companion and husband, and is and will be surely missed. God bless.

With Love,

his wife Josephine
