Great story! I thought the theme was resilience in the face of adversity. Even when faced with difficult challenges and life-threatening situations, Phil found the strength to persevere and continue fighting for the greater good. His courage and strength of will are evident throughout the passage, and I think this serves as an example for us all.

It's a small moment of joy in an otherwise bleak story. I also appreciate how the passage captures the chaos of war with the constantly shifting front and the idea of Phil being promoted while he is in the hospital.

Evocative imagery
Good use of descriptive language to bring the battlefield alive.
“Death lurking in every direction”
What a gripping story of this young lieutenant saving a trapped squad. I'm not sure I took a breath during the opening scene. The admiration for this lieutenant leaps off the page.
