1868 - 1926

Born at Ayr, he was educated at Harrow and Exeter College, Oxford. He then went on to study art in London and Paris. He exhibited his first painting at the Royal Academy in 1895, but later turned to sculpture, his chief subjects being equine and equestrian. He also wrote knowledgeably on the subject of horsemanship. He designed a medal for the London International Medical Congress of 1913. At the outbreak of World War II he enlisted as a trooper in the Middlesex Yeomanry, but was then given a commission in the Royal Army Service Corps, on the strength of his experience with horses, serving with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in Egypt and Palestine. He became art master at Bedford School in 1920, remaining in the post until his death from a heart attack while hunting. His most conspicuous work, the Memorial to the Imperial Caamel Corps, was unveiled in the Victoria Embankment Gardens in 1921. Brown was elected to the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1909.
