Surely the ditch in the first picture is not a latrine!Yeah, there are a lot images out there of troops outdoors in their shirtsleeves. There are a few men wearing overshirts in these photos, but there are certainly others in undershirts as well. In polite society of course that would not have been permitted, but I think shirtsleeves were acceptable in certain outdoor working conditions, more so than people think.
Here are a few more images from Pensacola.
