Biography

Trooper
14th Canadian Hussars, R.C.A.C.
8th Reconnaissance Regt.

Unfortunately, on January 6, 1945, Ross was involved in a collision between two vehicles in the Netherlands and died from his injuries in the 88th British General Hospital: he had extensive and very deep cuts in his thighbone, a fracture on the lower jaw and a rip in the abdominal wall.
According to a report, no one was responsible and it was an accident that resulted in serious injuries to Ross Brown and ultimately in his death.
