Ch. 3

In chapter 3 the youth(Henry) is sleeping when the tall soldier(Jim) wakes him up and they run into battle. The youth feels that he is being pushed by a mob, meaning that he feels that the only reason why he is going into battle is because they are making him. The soldiers pass by a dead soldier and the youth looks into his eyes and studies the body. He is trying to find out whatever he can from the dead soldier. When the youth is off by himself not really in the battle the Lieutenant comes by him and tapes him with his sword and tells him that he is doing no good standing off by himself. At the end of the chapter the loud one(Wilson) is dieing and tells the youth to take his letters to his parents.
My question is: Was the dead soldier a comrade or an enemy?
