Chapter 23

The colonel tells the men that they need to charge or they will have to charge or be killed where they are. They charge the enemies fence with all there might. While they are fighting, Henry sees that the enemies flag barrer has been shot and killed. So he thinks that capturing the enemies flag would be a great accomplishment. Then he runs over to the flag and Wilson takes it from the dead soldiers hands. The enemy has been driven back and defeated once again. They take 4 prisoners of war also. The chapter ends with the men celebrating their victory and Wilson and Henry dicussing their great accomplishments. Why do they take prisoners? Do they hope to get some information out of them? I think that capturing the flag was a big deal.
