ODA021 Posted April 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2018 I recently acquired this photo of Roy Yaeger. It is the second photo I have of the two Yaeger Brothers out of Hebronville Texas. What is unique is that the brothers were twins who were both awarded the DSC on the same day while assigned to the 320th MG Bn. They were manning a MG in support of the 326th Infantry during the St Mihiel Campaign. I think this is the only time in US Military History where twin brothers were awarded the DSC for the same action. Anyway, it is the holy grail for me of WW1 82nd Division collectables.

everforward Posted April 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted April 11, 2018 Great pics, and I agree, probably unique for WW1– never heard of it for WW2 either but I’ve never researched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted April 12, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 12, 2018 Great pics, and I agree, probably unique for WW1– never heard of it for WW2 either but I’ve never researched it. Agreed, especially since siblings weren't allowed to serve together later in the war. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
