After this, he goes back and talks about the Bruyeres-Biffontaine campaign and would follow up that with some rest time. He discusses the differences between basic training and real combat, saying that training was more difficult because of the chiggers and snakes that they had to deal with. Next, he talks more about his war experiences, including talking with civilians, the Champagne Campaign and losing friends in the war.
