Reading, writing, cleaning their weapons, making sure their powder and balls were ready for the coming battle..
sharpening their bayonets, mending their clothes, praying, the same kinds of things that modern day troops do, with the exception of the powder and ball, since ammo is now prepared...

Soliders really worked for what they needed like shoes by sewing them themselves or trying to find food
