One of the enemy rushed out, and Brown knocked him cold with his fist, retaining his grenade for the others. Loud cries of ‘‘Kamerad!” were heard, and from the dugout an offi- cer and eleven Heinies appeared. Brown brought the entire lot back, and recently was given the Victoria cross for his exploit, o Fred W.
