Back in June, 1917, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., went across with Archie.
Theodore was a Major then; Archie a Captain. Both were assigned to
General Pershing’s staff. In August it was reported that the two,
anxious for real action, had been transferred to the 26th Infantry. So
anxious was Archie to get into line duty that he accepted a reduction
to Second Lieutenancy in order to get into the trenches.
