Lloyd Deevers

Captain Lloyd Deevers commanded Armstrong Grimes' company during the Utah campaign. Grimes much preferred Deevers to his platoon commander, Lt. Streczyk, since he had a good idea of what he was doing unlike the lieutenant.

While advancing on Salt Lake City#Salt Lake City in Southern Victory|Salt Lake City]], Grimes infuriated a Mormon major who was under flag of truce by forcing him to strip before crossing over to the U.S. lines. Captain Deevers offered to transfer Grimes to another company to avoid any potential retribution but Grimes declined. He lived to regret it, since the Mormons did seem to concentrate their efforts on his company, but he did live.
