According to his pension record, George E. Brown served in Company H of the Fifth Maine Regiment. No notation is made on his pension application card that he served as a Captain, which is odd given that most other pension records note military rank. He died on March 10, 1913 at the age of 77 in Portland, Maine. His widow applied for a pension extension four days later, on March 14, 1913. The Fifth Maine Regiment Museum has in its archives a photo album of the Fifth Maine veterans that include mostly photos taken by George E. Brown
