BIOGRAPHY

My brother Gustave Frank Yeager enjoyed going over the state line into West Virginia to attend dances with his friends. He was a red haired gentleman who cared very much for family and carried a clipping of his baby sister's hair with him at all times. He served 22 months for his country, 18 of them overseas. He served in England, Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium and Germany. He died at Strassburg, Germany, September 18, 1944. Upon his death he was buried in Flose, Belgium until he returned home on April 10, 1949.
