Darn it, this field is just as dry as the one that caught fire as we crossed it during last week's attack! The Yankee skirmishers will probably set it on fire as they fall back.

Line up and wait. Marcel from Air France hopes his takeoff clearance arrives soon. The pilots behind him are getting restless.

Wonder how many CW soldiers were victims of sunstroke.

According to this site, about 7,000 Union soldiers suffered from a recorded incident of sunstroke, and over 300 died. I have no idea about Confederate casualties of this nature. Civil War record-keeping being what it is, I suspect that is an undercount.
