The Red Badge of Courage- Ch 13

While Henry was walking Wilson came up to Henry. Wilson was asking Henry who he was. After Henry said who he was Wilson seemed surprised. Everyone thought Henry was dead, but Henry explained to them that he was lost and couldn't find the rest of the group. He also told them that he was hit in the head by a bullet.

• Henry is gonna get caught lying somehow. He should have just told them he wanted to go home because he was not able to fight for some reason. All of his problems would have been solved then.
• Did they tell Henry's mom he was dead?
