Julian P. Brown

The Navy Cross is presented to Julian P. Brown, Captain, U.S. Marine Corps, for distinguished service in the line of his profession as a member of a special mission that was organized for the purpose of executing the plan for the disarming of the troops of the Liberal party of the Republic of Nicaragua. The duty was satisfactorily accomplished between the dates of 12 May to 15 May 1927, and in the face of great difficulties in the nature of troops to the number of over two thousand being on the verge of open mutiny at the prospect of delivering their arms, open threats against his life, and having to safeguard a large sum of government money in his safekeeping. By the successful accomplishment of his mission, Captain Brown did much to lessen the severity of the banditry then rife in the country.
