Patton wasn't happy: Roosevelt collaborated with and was a friend of Major General Terry de la Mesa Allen Sr



., known for his hard-fighting and hard-drinking ways. Their unorthodox approach to warfare caught the attention of Lieutenant General George S. Patton, the Seventh Army commander in Sicily and former II Corps commander. 

Patton disapproved of officers who "dressed down," rarely wore regulation field uniforms, and disregarded his spit-shined standards in the field. He considered both Allen and Roosevelt un-soldierly and frequently sent derogatory reports about Allen to General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO). Patton treated Roosevelt as "guilty by association" due to his friendship and collaboration with the unconventional Allen. 

Consequently, when Allen was relieved of his command of the 1st Division and reassigned, Roosevelt was also reassigned. 

Following the D-Day landings, Roosevelt acquired  a Jeep and named it "Rough Rider", which was the nickname of his father's regiment raised during the Spanish–American War. 

Roosevelt  was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on D-Day. On July 12, 1944, just over a month after the landing at Utah Beach, Roosevelt passed away from a heart attack in France.
