Letter
"November 11th 1918 will always be remembered by yours truly...At 10:45 the order came to cease firing... That was absolutely the happiest moment of my life. The rest of the day little groups of smiling Germans came up to the line with tobacco and wine..."

Resolution
Palmer returned home after the war and played for the Western Reserve University football team.

Lloyd Brewer Palmer; Date: November 15, 1918; Rank: Lieutenant; Home: Cleveland, Ohio
