Lance Corporal
1st Battalion
The Parachute Regiment
British Army
Aged 25, from Glasgow
He was deployed with the UK contingent of NATO forces in Afghanistan.
LCpl Brown died as a result of a suspected Improvised Explosive Device while on a foot patrol along with Afghan troops about 1 km south of Sangin, Helmand Province. It is understood he was serving with the Special Forces Support Group and few details have been released.
The Ministry of Defence tribute described him as "a dynamic, optimistic and talented soldier and sportsman for whom no challenge was too great. He relished responsibility, and was never found wanting. In all that he did, he displayed the easy confidence of a natural leader. He was enthused by soldiering and proved time and again able to inspire those he commanded to emulate his own rigorous professional standards. His cheeky grin and easy wit were never far from the surface, especially when things were tough. He died as he lived, leading from the front; the only place that someone like Tommy knew".
He achieved and lived his dreams.
Utrinque Paratus
LCpl Brown is survived by his wife Stacy, children Dylan and Keira-Leigh, parents Tam and Linda, brother Johnny, other relatives and many friends.
Funeral with full military honours was held at Glasgow Cathedral on January 12, 2010.
