Union soldiers at work to preserve their health
The soldier in the field had to learn to take care of his health between battles as well as to save his skin while the bullets were flying.
In these two photographs, separated by only a few moments, Union men appear at the work of sanitation.
Huts are being erected and ditches dug for drainage near the headquarters of
General George W. Getty, Sixth Army Corps.
In the upper photograph the man with the wheelbarrow is just starting away from the tent with a load.
In the lower, he has reached the unfinished hut. The men standing upright in the upper picture have bent to their work and the sentry has paced a little farther along on his beat.
