...First instituted during World War I, the badge had three versions: black, for those wounded once or twice by hostile action (including air raids), or frost-bitten in the line of duty; silver for being wounded three or four times, or suffering loss of a hand, foot or eye from hostile action (also partial loss of hearing), facial disfigurement or brain damage via hostile action; and in gold (which could be awarded posthumously) for five or more times wounded, total blindness or severe brain damage via hostile action. Badges exist in pressed steel, brass and zinc, as well as some base metal privately commissioned versions. Those of the First World War were also produced in a cutout pattern. Read full entry

Red Badge of Courage?
Does Henry get shot at the end
of the book? I can't figure it
out; the last chapter talks
about him imagining a world of
beauty, happiness, and eternal
peace and a symbolic ray of
sun breaking through the
clouds--is this a metaphor for
being shot and dying? The
sparknotes quiz says Henry
gets shot by an unnamed
soldier...I'm so confused.
Also how does Henry receive
his "Red Badge of Courage?" Is
this from his "fake wound"
that he got from being hit in
the head by another Union
soldier with a rifle?
Sparknotes quiz says you get a
"red badge of courage" by
killing 10 men, but I thought
it was by getting wounded.
Thanks for your help! Best
answer = 10 points!
