Chapter 7

In this chapter Henry regrets running away, but he feels betrayed by the people in his group because they defeated the enemy without him. He goes into the woods and sees a squirrel. Trying to prove to himself that it is natural to run away when in danger, he tosses a pinecone at the squirrel and watches it run away. He goes to the chapel and finds a body sitting there staring at him. It is a soldier in a blue uniform just like Henry's. Henry runs out of the grove, half expecting it the call for help, but it doesn't.

I don't understand why Henry ran away. He was scared, but they had held the enemy only hours before that. I'm really curious about this corps in the grove.

Question: Who is the guy in the grove? Why is he there?
