Thirst is another Curialo & Withers yarn from J. D. Newsom. It appeared in the 10 Feb 1929 issue of Short Stories. For those unfamiliar with the duo, Legionnaire 2nd Class Curialo is the sometimes level headed American shirker while Withers is the endlessly complaining English Cockney. Their existence in the Legion is marked by an avoidance of work details, officers and non-coms, the endless pursuit of drink, food, and what other small comforts can be found near the trenches or in the deserts. This tale involves a small cafe caught between the Germans and the French Foreign Legion where the innocent proprietor confuses the two. Wine figures prominently in the story.
