As the battle continues, it becomes clear to the officers of Henry’s regiment that the troops can’t stay in their present position. The officers decide to charge the enemy’s position. The objective is to push the enemy away from the fence behind which they are hiding and firing. As quickly as the tired and dispirited regiment hears the command to charge, they respond with renewed strength and zeal. The charge is so successful that the enemy abandons its position, Wilson captures the enemy’s flag, and four enemy troops are taken prisoner.
As the celebration of this successful charge of the regiment winds down, Henry sits down in some tall grass and leans his flag against the fence. Wilson, his friend, joins him in resting on the ground.
