Charles D. K. Brown

Good Morning!

Sorry to have missed your post the day it came in.

Please let me first offer condolences on the loss of your grandfather.

As to his not speaking much about the war, most of us from the next two generations know where you are coming from...

Do you know his rank? There is no official roster for division soldiers. Many documents were lost or destroyed. But Jim West of the Indiana Military Site has been compiling a roster from every source he can locate. The link to that site can be found here in the verbiage at the top of the main index (106th Soldiers on this Site) under "Site Soldier Index" on this discussion board: 106thdivision.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=index&action=display&thread=413
.
A search on the roster for "Brown" lead, of course to many. One in the 424th was a Charles D. Brown who was listed as a SSgt. I'll paste
the info below. If rank and serial # match then we now know that your grandfather was in F company of the 424th. If this is not a match, I can delete this info from this post and we can pursue other possibilities.
Brown, Charles D. SSgt 33348086 424th/F
