GEORGE W. PURYEAR, First Lieutenant. Air Service, Pilot.Lieutenant Puryear was the first American officerto escape from a German prison. He was capturedJuly 26, 1918, north of Chateau-Thierry, and con-fined in four different prison camps in Germany.He escaped the first time from Friedrichferter PrisonCamp, Rastatt, August 5th, and was recapturedAugust 8th, before getting out of Germany. He es-caped again October 6th, this time from Villingen,and reached Switzerland October 11th, after swim-ming the Rhine a little below the junction of theAar. While making his escape he was shot at sixtimes, at distances varying in range from ten to fiftyyards, and escaped being hit because he ran at theguard who was shooting at him, instead of away fromthe guard, thus, as he had hoped, confusing the enemy.
