Virginia native Sergeant Palmer Boyd, a medical corpsman with the 38th Infantry, wrote a brief memoir detailing his POW experience titled <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_GnR_cMhD9BhKpnB_nv79ZY0VH9l7nyo/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kriegegefangenelager 80053: My Experience as a Prisoner of War in Germany.</a> While being processed, he and other doughboys discovered they were being funneled through a building to be interrogated. The men conspired to tell the same story to ensure the German interrogator only obtained limited information. It was an early example of POW group resistance. As a POW barracks chief, he kept fellow POWs off work details aiding the German war effort. In another quick-thinking action, Boyd had about 75 American POWs, all newly arrived from the front, cut off the leather straps and rubber headbands from their helmets before the items could be confiscated. The Germans recycled those materials for their war effort. Though a captive, Boyd continued to fight on the POW battlefield. 1927 "Virginia Polytehnic Institute in the World War" booklet Did this individual appear in the 1927 booklet "Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the World War"?
