It is a consequence of the Kurosh subgroup theorem for free products that if a group has two decompositions where each Ai and each Bj is indecomposable, then I and J can be placed in one-to-one correspondence so that corresponding groups if not conjugate are infinite cycles. We prove here a corresponding result for free products with a normal amalgamation.
