Did Ted R Rooservelt Jr die at Normandy?

Answer 1

General Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt, Jr. died on 12 July, a couple of weeks after landing with the troops of the 4th Division on D-Day. He is buried at the Normandy cemetery next to his brother Quentin Roosevelt, who was a pilot shot down in World War 1. Gen. Roosevelt was a very brave officer and some might say a little fool-hardy. During the campaign in Tunisia, his Jeep had the name "Rough Rider" painted on it and on a couple occasions it charged off alone to chase the enemy. However, Gen. Roosevelt had a heart condition. He looked thin and somewhat fraile and his uniform almost concealed the fact that he was a general.
