In a Cuban theater a young soldier Jarvis of the Fourth Infantry sits with a veteran regular. They recall Civil War memories on a tropical frontline, discuss nerves and tobacco, and notice a distant enemy while Jarvis contemplates May thirtieth Decorah day and past battles. The scene blends duty, memory, and unease under heat and smoke.
