Brown was knocked unconscious "when an enemy shellburst fatally wounded a man in the ladder above," his medal citation said. Then Brown "upon regaining consciousness, promptly returned to the shellwhip on the berth deck and zealously continued to perform his duties although 4 of the 6 men at this station had been either killed or wounded by the enemy's terrific fire."
His medal was transferred from storage at the Bureau of Medals to the Naval History and Heritage Command in 1957, and it was on display until recently at the National Museum of the United States Navy near an artifact of the Kearsarge-Alabama battle.
