World War One

  • Alan Roesler said:
    The remains of 1st Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt, 95th Aero Squadron, by his Nieuport 28 N6177 '14' on July 14, 1918. The taking and circulating of this photograph earned the German high command much criticism, and its propaganda value backfired, as many German soldiers were impressed that the son of a former American president would put his life on the line for his country as Roosevelt had done.

    Looking at the neighboring photos in the Bain collection at LoC, it appears that there was a large crowd of family and dignitaries on board. The event is likely that described in the New York Times of April 12, 1925 timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1925/04/12/10704251... Theodore Roosevelt, Jr and his brother Kermit sailed on April 11, 1925 on the Leviathan to Southampton on the first stage of a trip to hunt for endangered animals on behalf of the Field Museum in Chicago. The NYT article mentions that his wife and children were on board to say goodbye. The Alaska Daily Empire. April 27, 1925, Page 5, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84020657/1925-04-27/ed-... has a photo of Theodore and Kermit, with description, "Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., and his brother, Captain Kermit Roosevelt, were pictured as they sailed from New York on the S.S. Leviathan for Southampton, England, where they will be met by the rest of the party which will Journey into the depths of Turkestan, in Asia, on a special hunting expedition for the Field Museum of Chicago."
