THE TERRIBLE STORY OF ROBERT BOBBIE EVAN BROWN JR. OF DUBLIN, GEORGIA...

Robert “Bobbie” Evan Brown Jr. of Dublin, Georgia, a Captain in the U.S. Army, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions on October 8, 1944, on Crucifix Hill, Aachen, Germany.



Brown was the First Sergeant in the Headquarters Company of Patton’s 2nd Armored Division when World War II began. 

After fighting across North Africa, he received a battlefield promotion to second lieutenant and transferred to the 1st Infantry Division. While fighting across France, he assumed command of his unit when his company commander was killed.

On October 8, 1944, he received orders for an attack on Crucifix Hill. He single-handedly destroyed several enemy pillboxes under heavy fire. Despite being wounded three times, he did not seek medical attention until his company’s position was completely secure.

He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on October 8, 1944. Brown left the Army in 1952 after 34 years of service. Tragically, Brown was tormented by traumatic memories of his experiences during the war and was in constant pain from his war injuries. He took his own life on November 8, 1971 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
