Henry's point of view explaining to the other soldiers of the regiment why you ran from battle.

I'm not too sure what you are asking here so I'll try to cover both angles. Henry really ran because he was scared. Many of his comrades turn and ran; Henry ran too. Henry's explanation to the other soldiers was that he lost his bearings and got separated from the regiment, "over on th' right. I got separated." This eventually is not questioned and Henry looks at his retreat as sort of a rite of passage.
