Brigadier-General Howard Clifton Brown (3 April 1868 – 11 September 1946)[1] was a British army officer and Conservative Party politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Newbury. CareerClifton Brown was the son of James Clifton Brown, an earlier MP for the same constituency, by his wife Amelia Rowe. He was commissioned into the 12th Lancers as a second-lieutenant on 8 June 1889, promoted to lieutenant on 3 September 1890, and to captain on 1 October 1896. He served with the regiment in the Second Boer War in South Africa 1899–1901, where he took part in the Relief of Kimberley (15 February 1900) and the subsequent battles of Paardeberg (February 1900) and Driefontein (March 1900); and from June to November 1900 in operations in the Transvaal.[2] For his service, he was promoted brevet major in the 1901 South Africa Honours list (the promotion was dated 29 November 1900).[3] He received the substantive rank of major on 3 September 1902.[4] From 1908 to 1912 he was commander of the 12th Lancers, before he was given command of the South Eastern Mounted Brigade 1913-16 and served in the First World War. He resigned as Brigadier general.[5] Clifton Brown was elected to the House of Commons for Newbury at an unopposed by-election on 6 June 1922.[6] However, in the following year's general election he lost the seat by just 41 votes to his Liberal opponent, Innes Harold Stranger.[6] At the 1924 general election he was re-elected as Newbury's MP, which he remained until stepping down at the 1945 general election.[6] He married, in 1903, Mary Eirene Hodges, daughter of Sir Henry Hodges, and had three daughters.[5] References1. ^{{Rayment-hc|n|1|date=March 2012}} 2. ^Hart′s Army list, 1903 3. ^{{London Gazette |issue=27359 |date=27 September 1901 |page=6305}} 4. ^{{London Gazette|issue= 27474|date=16 September 1902 |page=5959}} 5. ^1 BROWN, Brig.-Gen.
