He says that he got lightly grazed off the top of the head with a bullet during combat, but in actuality, he gets hit over the head with a flailing rifle. The man bandaging him actually believes his story, though he initially thinks otherwise.

The irony of the head wound Henry received in "The Red Badge of Courage" is that although it quickly healed, it made him feel unworthy because it was not a visible, glorious battle scar like the one he had hoped for. This symbolizes the disconnect between his romanticized notions of war and the harsh reality he faced.
