Hear Hear.

I don't know much about Civil War but I DO know that most 15C re-enactors I know are pretty switched on to the horrors of war.

Normally the general pubic come up with their own conceptions of what was uncomfortable or nasty about the period, but they NORMALLY talk about things which I for one find quite easy to adjust to and totally miss out on the real point.

The thing is, war is hell whatever period of history you look at. Field medicine in the past was better than most people think.. but as far as I can see not much, REALLY, has changed. I'd hate to be in the army as much now as way back when.
