Chapter 8

Henry hears the roar of men at war and of musketry. He is interested and tries to get a closer and better look at the battle. He walks through the forest past dead body after dead body and finally gets to a road where he can see the soldiers. They are walking down the alley moaning and groaning in pain and also cheering. Henry then joins in with the marching men. A wounded man walking beside him says how good of a fight it was and how courageous his men were. Henry then starts to feel guilty again for running away from his regiment during battle. Why does the narrorator always refer to Henry and the " youth"? I think Henry is coward and he should not have enlisted in the war if he was not ready to fight.
