Scared To The Memory Of Lieutenant Dwight L. Brown
Born At Madison, Kan Oct 15, 1896
Who In The Strength Of Patriotic Enthusiasm, gladly Gave A Virile Christian Manhood Serving With The 136th Machine Gun battalion, 27th Division, United States Army
He Met His Death In France As A Result Of Wounds Received While Fighting Bravely In The Service Of His Country During the Great War With Germany
Christ Shall Be Glorified In My Body Whether By Liberty Or By Death For Some To Live Is Christ And To Die Is Gain
