  After fifteen months in the armed forces two brothers, Corporal George J. Roovers, 21 and Corporal Thomas F. Roovers, 20, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Roovers of Maes Avenue, Kimberly, remain unseparated. Both were inducted February 2, 1943 at Fort Sheridan, Ill. The brothers were in basic training together, then by some stroke of fate were assigned to the same B-24 Liberator Bomber Squadron with an overseas destination. Now overseas the brothers, working in close collaboration daily, perform the duties of fusing and loading bombs.
