A chance meeting of Sgt. Charles Motzko and Pvt. Herbert Motzko, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Motzko of Browerville, came as a happy surprise as the young men were brought together on May 14 when the different infantry divisions were being broken down and reassembled for further military duty in the vicinity of Hollendorf, Germany. Neither Charles or Herbert were aware of the presence of the other in that territory until they met while on guard duty.
