And when a time comes that is required to be killed in it for the sake of doing what is right, do not think about anything, O Henry, except doing what is right.

The whole battalion received very good treatment during their travel, until he felt as if he were a true hero. After many difficult journeys and long periods of stopping, months of boring life settled inside one of the camps. In the camp, there was no conflict with death. All the men did was try to keep their bodies warm.

Henry did not care much about the nature of the men who he will fight; as there was a more dangerous problem, which is that he wanted to be sure that he will not run away from the battlefield.

He didn't need to think about that matter before, but a battle will indeed take place, and he knows that he may flee from the field. He did not know anything about himself regarding the war.

After a short time, the tall soldier entered his hut and was followed by the loud soldier who had contradicted him previously, and they were still in disagreement.

The tall soldier was called Jim Conklin, and the loud soldier was called Wilson.

Jim replied emphatically: "I did not say that I know everything in the world." And he began to gather his belongings inside his backpack.

Henry watched them in anxiety, and in the end he asked Jim: "Is it certain then that we are on the verge of one of the battles, Jim?"
