Chapter 18

Henry and Wilson said that they would go and find a creek to get water. Before they left most of the other soldiers gave them their canteens to fill. The two men looked for a creek but couldn't find one so they went back to the line. On their way back they saw the general riding his horse. The general and two other men stopped by Henry and Wilson and said that there will be another charge in five minutes and that they needed more men or else they would be beat. One of the men with the general said that they could use the 304th (which is Henry's regiment) as extra support. They other man then said that the 304th fought like mule drivers and that they would very likely all die. Henry and Wilson get back to the line and say that they are going to help another regiment. Is fighting like a bunch of mule drivers a bad thing?
