over here; it seems criminal, for they
will expect us to produce the result
than one hundred squadrons would
have"
Once his desire for active service was
granted, Quentin Roosevelt was very
happy. He was born aviator. He
had shown strong interest in mechan-
les from childhood and he often speaks
with almost lyrical enthusiasm of the
qualities of the machines which he is
driving. During his short career as
an aviator at the front he took part in
number of engagements, bringing
down one German plane single handed.
The story of his death is told in de-
tail from the accounts OF several par
ticipants in his last conflict. The
squadron to which Quentin was at
tached became dispersed in battle
with superior German force, and
Quentin's own plane went down after a
duel with a skillful adversary.
The Germans buried his body with
military honors near the little French
town of Chamery, and a regiment of
American engineers, finding the grave
in the course of Foch's triumphant ad-
vance, raised new cross and placed
shaft to mark where the airplane had
fallen.
Quentin's heroic death evoked large
number of tributes in prose and verse.
Like Alan Seeger, he has become one of
the romantic heroes of ruthlessly
mechanical and standardized war But
the best tribute to his memory is the
one which he unconsciously created in
his own letters. Here he shows him
self at once courageous and gentle, his
high conviction of the wars righteous
ness tempered by the splendid gayety
of the truly brave-a true knight,
without fear and without reproach."
His letters constitute one of the great
human documents of the war. They
should stand as an inspiration to young
American manhood for all time to come
