PG 176-213

On these pages, Henry finally gives in to his fear of being hated by his comrades, and slowly walks to the sound of gunfire. A voice comes in, "HALT". Surprised, he realizes his comrade Wilson is standing guard. with a wound on his head, he goes to see corporal to inspect the wounds. He falls asleep with a wet cloth on his wound and a cup of coffee in his hand. When he wakes up, he is startled, for it seems all the men around him are dead, but they are only sleeping. when the horn sounds they all get up and Henry is relieved to see they are okay. Near Wilson's continued care-taking, there are a group of men exchanging harsh words, but contrary to what Henry has seen Wilson act like before, he halts the fight, keeping the peace. Wilson is no longer the loud and proud soldier that he once was.
