Pre-Military Life
John F. Yarbrough was born on May 22, 1921 according to his military records; however, the 1940 census places him being born in 1924, so there is the possibility he lied on his enlistment records. He lived through his youth with his mother, Sadie Wainwright (born 1907), and stepfather, James Wainwright (born 1901). He was an only child, but little else is known of his youth. He only received two years of High School education before joining the Army.
