COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Hilbert Margol | B Battery, 392nd Field Artillery Battalion, 42nd Infantry Division - Army

5:32   |   Hilbert Margol and his twin brother Howard were both in ROTC and training on the 105mm howitzer. They were called up and both declined an invitation to Officer Candidate School because it would have split them up. They were on a track to become engineers but the European Theater needed men and they were sent to different units. At that point, Mom appealed to a higher authority to keep them together.
