B.Gen Teddy Roosevelt SERVED in Italy. I talked with him several times in the Cassino Area. He would visit with us as WE maintained the road way in front of Cassino. He was really down to earth, We looked forward to seeing him. always had a story for the GI's. He was liasion between 5 Army & The British. He had great praise for The Engineer troops. (Especially for THE 48th) He wore a terrible fitting WW1 CS Cap. He was sent to England for the Normandy Invasion. He died from a heart attack in France. AL
