The quote from that chapter is:
Presently he began to feel the effects of the war atmosphere--a blistering sweat, a sensation that his eyeballs were about to crack like hot stones. A burning roar filled his ears.
The war atmosphere refers to both the physical atmosphere of a war-- loud noises, smoke from rifles, etc. and also the mental state one can be in during a war where the entire mind and body are consumed with the rage and terror of war.
