Flying bugs sometimes scent the air unpleasantly, and there are hornets in the woods whose sting is dangerous. When we look back upon the happy days we spent in that lovely country, these drawbacks are forgotten; the past is always beautiful, and shadows, even of sorrow and sickness, only enhance the interest of the picture.
These and their old camps were infested with vermin "war bugs," as we usually called them which, with what we already had after two weeks of constant march, with neither time nor material for a change, made us exceedingly uncomfortable.
