of Quentin Roosevelt. The highly
interesting letter follows:
Somewhere in France,
Sept. Is, 1918,
The grave Of Quentin Roosevelt is
but a short distance from here. He
is buried on the hill where he fell
from his plane. The Germans mere
ly kicked little dirt over the re-
mains. However, left a marker by
means of an old slab of wood. Some
remnants Of his plane were still on
the grave.
When the Americans took over the
territory they made a new grave
which is indeed a fine one They
gave him military funeral and my
regiment was the one which buried
him, Of course, under the directions
Of some high officials
They built "A small fence around
the grave with white bricks and
boughs and erected a huge wooden
cross.
Geo. Myers was killed at the bat
tie Of the Marine. J visited his grave
and heard great tales abou. his BRAY

he fell leading his platoon in an at
