Crater Hopping

The book has had some war scenes in it, but i especially like the Crater Hopping war scene. This scene is where Elijah, Xavier, Thompson, McCaan, Graves, and Sean Patrick go up out of there trenches into the wasteland to check craters. There job is to look for Canadian Soldiers and bring them back. They check some Craters and McCaan signals that the next one is there Objective, and once in they find one soldier in critical condition and McCaan and Sean Patrick are going to carry him back. Then they become pinned down, but get out of that crater and into another. The Morning is starting to rise and they decide to find a better crater for cover as they are going to wait until the next night fall to get back to their trenches. They have two sleep and two watch. When they are about to leave they hear boots in the trench beside them and each are given two mills bombs and are to pull the pins and throw them once the germans get close. I thought this part is a significant time in both Elijah's, and Xavier's life for the reason that it is there first time killing someone. This can turn the tides and makes me want to read more to find out if any side effects come to be.
