Sam’s reference to “the meanest animal that crawls” is about the ever-present cooties or body lice. Please see the page “Sam’s References Explained” for an article explaining this bane of the soldier’s existence along with a reference to the Spanish Flu which is the “Spanish Rage” that Sam speaks of.

Regards,
REL
