CH. 9

In chapter nine Henry has fallen back in the line until he could no longer see the tattered man. There must have been alot of wonded. Henry is evnvyous of the wonded soilders and he describes there wounds as a "red badge of courage". He sees the wound as a proof of valor and wishes he had been wounded, he could have been if he wasn't such a coward. Later he runs into Jim and Jim tells him he had been shot. Henry tells Jim that he will take care when the tattered man comes up to Henry and yells that something is comeing down the road and it will run them over. Jim gets scared and he trys running away. He dies while trying to run. Herny gets angry and heads toward the battlefield.
My qestion is: Why wasn't Jim with Henry?
