From the reading passage, it can be concluded that Henry died in battle while his regiment was losing the battle. Henry received a blow, presumably from an enemy soldier, which was likely to have caused his death. The fact that the enemy was retreating suggests that Henry's regiment was eventually able to turn the tide of the battle and gain the upper hand, but this was not enough to save Henry's life. Henry's death serves as a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by soldiers in the face of adversity and the bravery they display in the face of danger.
