Pinckneyville, Ill.—Dr. Albert “Doc” Brown, the oldest living World War II veteran and survivor of the 65-mile forced trek known as the Bataan Death March, died Aug. 14 at a nursing home in Nashville, Ill. He was 105.
Born on October 26, 1905, in North Platte, Neb., Dr. Brown was the godson of the famous Wild West showman William "Buffalo Bill" Cody. Dr. Brown graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry where he competed on the football and basketball teams and was a member of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.
According to his obituary, he established a dental practice and a family with his wife Helen in Iowa and became a licensed pilot. Read whole story…
For some history of the Death March, there's material posted here from Public Broadcasting's American Experience. And Smithsonian magazine has retraced the route.
In conjunction with this tribute to this war-hero/doctor, we'd like to highlight STAT!Ref's extensive Dental Resources that help professionals like the late Dr. Brown in their field.
