Soldiers Life

Endless routine of drills, marching and boredom

A soldier was more likely to die from sickness than a battle wound due to the unsanitary conditions of camp

The soldiers on guard during the summer were given wollen tunics and shoes in the winter were given greatcoats and shoes but no other protection

Military discipline was harsh and the smallest mistake was punishable by lash
