Post 24

PGs. 331-369
In the next reading, Henry and his regiment return to a friendly fortified position. When the get there,though, their fellow soldiers mock them. They say that their last battle took place only 100 feet from the camp. Henry and Wilson look, and see that they are all right. There was a pitiful distance between their battle grounds and where they were. The kernels of the army called them "mud diggers", which roused the 304th like nothing had before. A few men came up personally to Henry and Wilson talking about their excellent battle report. The report said that they were the best fighters in the regiment. Henry and Wilson go into the battle with their regiment,with much confidence between them, march into the next battle to be defeated. Henry spectates for what seems like the entire battle, forgetting that he's part of the action too. He sees that Wilson and the lieutenant are unhurt, at least.
