Chapter 5
Henry finds himself in the midst of battle. He is so frightened he doesn't know what to do. Their lieutenant tells them that they have to stop the other brigade. Henry suddenly doesn't remember if he loaded his gun or not. He vigorously scrambles for his ammo loads and fires a shot off into the distant army. He then remembers that he was supposed to wait until he could see the faces. He looks around and sees all of the fighting and destruction. He sees a man run away and the lieutenant runs after him and brings him back to the fighting. Finally Henry sees red flags being put up in the distant army. They have one their first battle.
I think Henry surprised himself when he stayed as others were running. In the last chapter he was debating on staying or not but he must have made his mind up.
What does the red mean?
