Volume 3: Book 15 - Chapter 8

Characters Present:

Makéev
Jackdaw
The 8th Company

Location: 

Just out of Krásnoe


Makéev and Jackdaw are gossiping over the campfire about the comings and goings of other soldiers.

The topic moves to some rumours heard about French corpses - that they apparently stay pure and white for weird lengths of time, where the Russians go maggoty and rotten.  They surmise that it is because the French eat like gentry, so it must preserve their bodies a bit.
