Short article from The Gettysburg Times, PA, published 12 May 1944:



TWO BROTHERS MEET IN LONDON



"Major Marlin E Reber, formerly New Oxford, is a veteran of 26 missions over enemy lines, according to word received here. The pilot of a Flying Fortress, he is holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal and the Silver Star."



"Recently, while walking on a London street, he accidentally jostled against another soldier, according to letters to friends here."



"Both stopped, stared and then started talking. The solder who had jostled the major was Staff Sergeant Wellington R. Reber, of near New Oxford, the major's brother. Neither had recognized the other until the accident."



"Both are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin A. Reber, formerly of New Oxford and now of Hanover. Sergeant Reber recently returned from England where he spent 19 months as an administrative clerk for a heavy bombardment group. He is now stationed at the Stuttgart, Arkansas, Army Air Field."
