First battle of bull run
Battle of Gettysburg
U.S. soldiers in World War I were commonly referred to as "Doughboys." The origin of this nickname is uncertain, but it is believed to have stemmed from the soldiers' white uniforms, which made them look like dough, or from the clay they used to clean their equipment. The term became a symbol of American troops and their contributions to the war effort.
Back then , When the Civil war was going on , most soldiers didn't know much about washing , well ... anything , things that are like common scene to us right now . Doctors and surgeons didn't clean their knifes or anything after they were done with preforming on a solider and both soldiers and doctors never washed their hands , so diseases broke out all over ! Its pretty crazy how things were back then . Most surgery's too werent very well , most soldiers didn't make it through . -8th grader (:
Camp life for a soldier in the South during the Civil War was often harsh and challenging. Soldiers faced inadequate shelter, with many living in tents or makeshift structures, and struggled with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. Meals were typically meager, consisting of hardtack, beans, and salted meat, leading to malnutrition. Despite these hardships, soldiers formed strong bonds with their comrades, sharing stories and camaraderie to cope with the difficulties of war.
Soldiers in World War I employed various methods to prevent lice infestations, which were a common issue in the trenches. They would regularly shave their heads and body hair to reduce hiding spots for lice and often used a combination of soap and water to clean their uniforms and bodies. Additionally, they utilized delousing powders and chemicals when available, and some units implemented strict hygiene protocols to minimize outbreaks. Despite these efforts, lice remained a persistent problem throughout the war.

it depends what uniform
All you have to do is wash it.
I have volunteered at local animal shelters, community food banks, and environmental clean-up events. I have also volunteered at nursing homes to spend time with elderly residents.
In addition to keeping uniforms clean, treating with clothing repellent will prevent body louse infestations. (FM 4-25.12)
