"Everybody was drunk. The whole battery was drunk going along the road in the dark...The lieutenant kept riding his horse out into the fields and saying to him, "I'm drunk, I tell you, mon vieux. Oh I am so soused." We went along that road all night in the dark and the adjutant kept riding up alongside my kitchen and saying, "You must put it out. It is dangerous. We will be observed." ...It was funny going along that road."
