| Video Discription | Irving G. Brown from The Bronx, NY passed away on January 18, 2021. Irving served with the Army Medical Corps during WWII. Irving was assigned to the 671st Medical Regiment stationed in the northern Apennine Mountains and the Po Valley. When the American troops broke through the German lines north of Bologna Irving saw action. In the collection company he, along with three or four other medics, performed first aid on the troops and mainly tried to stop any bleeding. To stop the bleeding they bandaged the wounded and/or applied tourniquets. If men were ripped apart as Irving said, more seriously wounded with stomach wounds, for instance, they were injected with morphine to kill the pain until they could be treated. The wounded were then picked up and taken to an ambulance which drove them back to the evacuation hospital. From the collection company, the wounded were transported to a clearing company, generally within twenty miles from the front. According to Irving's daughter-in-law Ann Brown, "He was in the hospital for a heart procedure and caught COVID while there. It was a difficult period of time. He is at peace now."
