Lieutenant George Halliday Brown, (9 October, 1874 – 17 July, 1911) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Brown spoke French and was criticised in 1894 as "careless, no zeal, inattentive".
Brown was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1897.
An appointment in command of Charger dated 22 April, 1902[1] was altered to command of Leven, though this was indeed followed by an appointment in command of Charger on 19 August, 1903.
In May 1908, Captain Walter Cowan noted that Brown's health had failed after two severe bouts of influenza.
Brown was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 18 April, 1911.
Brown died "suddenly" at Valparaiso, the news conveyed to the Admiralty by telegram from the Consul General.
