Roger W Gilberg and his brother Roy W Gilberg enlisted in the army together on 27 November 1942. Roger became an Army Air Corp Member stationed at Muskogee Army Airfield, Muskogee OK. He died 14 September 1945 due to an automobile accident in Tulsa Oklahoma, six weeks after learning of Roy's death in Brennen Germany. Roger, who had been drinking, was driving a stolen vehicle going approximately 70-90 miles per hour, when he lost control and careened 60 yards down the shoulder before hitting a culvert and was hurtled 60 feet sideways, before hitting the bridge abutment. He died 2 hours later, from multiple blunt force injuries.
