War of the Triple Alliance (1864-70). A Paraguayan soldier late in the war on sentry duty at López' headquarters was lucky to have a worn-out musket. As the war dragged on, some Paraguayan soldiers entered combat without weapons and were expected to arm themselves from those of fallen comrades. Copied from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 40 (1870).
