Chapter 23

Henry and the 304th are still fighting, but are fighting a losing battle. They decide to charge the enemy because they aren't able to fall back. They unit was very tired and many were wounded or dead, but Henry was able to motivate them and they charged the enemy. They were able to win the battle and after they sat and rested, and congratulated each other on a job well done.

Henry is turning out to be a great leader, he has lead two battles now and his regiment has won both even though the odds were against them. He is able to motivate his comrades so they push themselves to the limit and that is the reason why they are able to win. He and Wilson are more of leader than the actual leader of the 304th.

What caused Henry to stay in the army and actually become a leader even though he isn't as experienced as the others?
