Near Helena, Thursday, March 12. Fine weather. Washed my clothes in the forenoon. In the afternoon joined in the funeral procession of a member of Co. G., 72nd Illinois. Laid him in the swamp and left him in the cheerless spot, a soldier’s grave. Many of the boys in spite of high water, went out foraging and brought in fresh pork and beef in plenty.
