Even though the flag bearer has just been killed, Henry takes up the flag. The flag bearer is very visible and has a good chance of being shot. Henry stoll takes on this task even though his chances of being killed are greater.

Both instances show the ability to enter a dangerous situation with no chance of hiding or slacking. The position of colour bearer has to be at the front of the lines. The charge into the enemies trenches could mean certain death. This is courage: to fight in the face of fear or death.
