In his classic "I RODE WITH STONEWALL", Henry Kyd Douglas uses the phrase 'Confederate Toilet":
"With waiting and delay I did not reach Waynesboro until seven o'clock in the evening. But a glass of something, a bit of supper and a Confederate toilet, I was ready for another wedding....."
I assume this was some sort of quick wash up, perhaps washing hands and face in a bowl. But any ideas?
