because scorpions look for warm places
at night.
:14:06
A quarter liter of water a day.
:14:08
lf you're used to washing up,
learn how to do it with sand.

Rations arrive after dusk,
but often don't show up.
:14:14
You'll have to make do
with canned goods and biscuits.
:14:18
Cigarettes in abundance,
but matches are scarce.
:14:23
-Got that?
-Yes.
:14:26
Any questions?
:14:28
-The mail?
-On and off.

Beloved Mom, Dear Father...
:14:53
I've finally arrived on the front line.
:14:57
My unit is posted
in the southernmost point of the front...
:15:01
near the Qattara Depression.
:15:04
I'm the youngest.
The others are veterans of Africa.
:15:10
Everything is empty, immense.
:15:14
I've yet to see real war.
:15:18
It's not what I expected.
I imagined something else.:
:15:22
clashes, battles, gunfights.
:15:27
Our real enemies now
are thirst and dysentery.
:15:32
We must be careful...
:15:34
because we can die suddenly,
unexpectedly...
:15:39
without ever seeing the enemy.
:15:42
I hope I'll distinguish myself
and make you proud of me.
