I get the impression this maybe set in the American civil war (the north being too far away) but could probably translate to any war. It seems to be about a man who didn't really want to be fighting in this war and in the absence of much female company had fallen in love with Babatte (who served them tea) and fantasised about running away with her instead of doing his duty.

Maybe WWI? There was a naval ship called the USS Babette. If that is the case, perhaps he has fallen in love with the sea/the ship.
