An appointment in command of Charger dated 22 April, 1902[1] was altered to command of Leven, though this was indeed followed by an appointment in command of Charger on 19 August, 1903.
In May 1908, Captain Walter Cowan noted that Brown's health had failed after two severe bouts of influenza.
Brown was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 18 April, 1911.
