Kermit Roosevelt '12, explorer, soldier and author, son of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, will address the Harvard Travellers' Club on his experiences in Mesopotamia, this evening at 8.15 o'clock at the Harvard Club, at the corner of Commonwealth and Massachusetts avenues, Boston. The talk is open to all members of the University, who are cordially invited to attend.
Mr. Roosevelt accompanied his father on his African hunting trip in 1909-10, and also went on the famous expedition to Brazil in 1914, where the much-discussed "River of Doubt" was discovered.
In July, 1917, Mr. Roosevelt was commissioned as captain in the British Army, and served for a year in Mesopotamia with the Motor Machine Gun Corps. He was transferred to the 7th Field Artillery of the 1st Division of the United States Army in June, 1918. He has been awarded the British Military Cross and the Montenegrin War Cross.
M. Roosevelt has related his Mesopotamia experiences in a successful and interesting book called "War in the Garden of Eden."
