When Jonathan enters town, the corporal asks if he can handle a gun. He answers yes, but when he has to use a gun longer and heavier than himself, he starts to rethink things.🔫

While on the way to the battle, Jonathan thinks he might not be ready 😕for battle, but it is too late to turn back.
⏪He was exhausted, but forced himself to go on.

They soon encountered the hessians, shots were fired, 🌋♨️and some were fatally wounded.
While the rest of his men retreaded, he was left to fend for himself.🔫
