Chapter 16

Henry's regiment is taken through some trenches. He sees enemy soldiers, and he and his regiment are taken to the forest. He complains that the reason they have lost battles was because of their leaders. A soldier makes fun of Henry for that statement he had made and Henry gets quiet because he doesn't want to be seen as a traitor to his army. The men are told to stop by their lieutenant and they wait for the battle to start.

I think this chapter is setting the stage for chapter 17, I think that there will be another battle coming. I still don't get why Henry is being so selfish and talking bad about his comrades and leaders because he ran from the last battle and hid in the forest.

Is Henry going to run again from this battle like he did the last ?
