  • I enjoyed reading John Keegan’s “The Face of Battle” bc among other things it talked about 3 different battles as they must have been experienced by the common soldier. iirc the night before Waterloo they slept in wet fields and ofc didn’t have time to change, before Agincourt they likely had to “relieve themselves” right where they stood and many had diarrhea (and some couldn’t even take off their armor to do so!) soldiers were often hungry and thirsty and exhausted, etc.
