19. If only the folks at home could see how a soldier makes himself comfortable. I myself went a mile to obtain a fence rail for a bed. Two of these are laid so that the sharp edge is inside. The thick part is outside so that kind of a tray or trough is formed. This is the bed; then my tent is stretched over it; that is the house. Others just lie down on the wet ground. I myself am frying a little piece of meat held on a pointed stick over the fire. It is half burned and half raw but that does not matter; a cup of strong coffee causes it to slide down. Then I lay myself down on the fence rail bed where I look at the starry sky and fall asleep. -- August Seiser, 140th
