Mormon Major

In late 1942, as U.S. Forces stalled outside Salt Lake City, a Mormon Major approached the lines under the white flag of truce. Sgt. Armstrong Grimes ordered the Major to strip to his undergarments to prove he wasn't a People bomb. The Major was infuriated that Grimes did not take him at his word that he wasn't one.

After satisfying Grimes, the Major was passed on to divisional HQ to the rear. The Major's attempt to negotiate a favorable armistices failed and he returned to his own lines again through Grimes' sector. He attempted to revenge himself on the slights he suffered by concentrating the Mormon attacks on Grimes' company but failed to harm Grimes.
