Biography

Roger and his brother Robert were twins. On his World War I draft card, Roger is described as tall and slender with blue eyes and brown hair. He was working as a clerk in Chicago for a business called J.J. Condon of New York. His draft card and Robert's said they were born in 1899, but everywhere else it's 1898. Perhaps the year difference kept them out of the war.They registered in September of 1918 and didn't have a birthday until November. The later birth date would have put them 17 almost 18. Perhaps the year difference kept them out of the war.
