Theodore Roosevelt mourns the death of his son in WWI battle. July 27, 1918. Shapell Manuscript Collection.
The loss of Quentin Roosevelt was accompanied by that of 11 million other soldiers; 116,561 of them, Americans – who, having entered the war “late,” only fought for 18 months, yet died at the same pitiless rate. From July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918, an entire generation of young men, their heads full of high ideals, were sent to their slaughter. In stupid battles led by stupid generals, they fell in the 25,000 miles of trenches that stretched from the English Channel to Switzerland; on beaches in Turkey, valleys in Palestine, into the freezing water of Denmark’s North Sea. They died in Russia from Belarus to Siberia; in Africa, and China, too. World War I saw the ruin of generations, the destruction of empires, and in its brutality and horror, forever changed the nature of armed combat. It wasn’t, really, a war for Theodore Roosevelt after all.
