Official History of 5th Army

[Custermen]

B.Gen Teddy Roosevelt SERVED in Italy.  . . . He wore a terrible fitting WW1 CS Cap.

Okay. What is a "CS Cap"? In "An Army At Dawn" it mentions and has photos of him wearing a wool cap. It said he could have been mistaken for a cook.

I had not read that he was in Italy(Cassino). This book only mentions N. Africa.

 

Quoting Marion

Quentin Roosevelt, a WWII veteran who was decorated many times, was 29 when he died. He and his father, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., are the only known father and son to have landed at Normandy on D-Day.  His wife and three daughters, one only a few months old, were in Shanghai at the time of the crash but returned soon afterwards to the U.S.A. where Quentin was buried.

"An Army at Dawn" mentions that Quentin was severly wounded. So, he must have recovered.

But what crash are you referring to? Quentin Roosevelt, the WW1 fighter pilot, was shot down in WW1 and is buried next to Teddy at Normandy. Was Teddy's son, Quentin, also killed in a plane crash? Or did you intentionally switch from WW2 to WW1 to get me confused?
