D. W. Engels' water estimates for Alexander's Macedonian Army daily water ration were in the Imperial 160 ounce 10 pound gallon of four 40 ounce quarts not the lesser Wine 128 ounce 8 pound gallon of four 32 ounce quarts adopted by the American British Colonies before disassociation. Two 40 ounce quarts of water on a daily march seems lavish. I might have enough left over for the cook doing my daily mash.
