Private Shellic J. Poole, once of Alabama and late of the 328th In- fantry, was taken sick with measles, and soon developed pneumonia.

They still feel, against all reason, that there is something shame- a jovality they do not feel, and call the things ‘pants rabbits’ and ‘seam men have only intermittent opportuni- ties to clean up. Theoretically, of course, the men of all armies are washed and dried and newly under- clothed once a fortnight.

He would manage to cling in the over- looked fold of a blanket or under the collar of an overcoat. And by and by romance would begin to sing in his blood, and he would meet a lady louse and set up housekeeping.
