When a civil war soldier died in the field because of illness was his body shipped home or was he buried where he died?
this was one of the first wars in history where the bodies were able to be preserved and shipped home for burial. the new embalming technologies were being developed and also soldiers were more identifiable than previous wars. the fighting was also for the most part relatively close to most of the soldier's homes. but still embalming was an expensive process and was usually reserved for the wealthier soldiers and their families who were for the most part officers in the war. also embalmers got really rich during this period.

Where did you go to the bathroom in World War 1?
Depends on where you were. If you were a soldier, you used the "Latrine"- a word used in the US Army for bathroom. Near the front lines, that was simply a slit trench where wastes would be buried. AT the front lines, you went wherever you could.
