The slab was not made of marble. It is molded concrete and only the first line of that stanza from Adonias is on the the slab. When Quentin's body was moved after WW2 to rest besides his brother Ted in The American Cemetary in France the slab from his original grave was shipped to Sagamore Hill and rests beneath the flagpole given to Sagamore Hill in TR's memory by the Boyscouts of America. I have been to Sagamore Hill and have seen the slab many times. there is a plaque explaining the presence of the slab so that visitors do not mistakenly think Quentin is buried there at Sagamore Hill. the infromation on the slab Edith had made for Quentin's grave is not correct.

A picture on this post card purports to be Lt. Roosevelt's aircraft which had just been shot down alongside of Lt. Roosevelts body. Supposedly taken by a german photographer. I appears to be authentic and I have no desire to sell it nor am I interested in it's worth. Just making a comment and asking about your opinion of it's authenticity. I'm sure there were many just like it at the time. dw I have a post card sent to my grandmother by her son, alieutenant in the army during WW I. A picture on this post card purports to be Lt.
