Stockings and Church

Stockings tells us about Henry Dobbins and how Henry is a sentimental person. He carries his girlfriends stockings with him in the war everywhere. He uses them as a sort of gas mask, and sleeps with the stockings over his face. I feel like other people would have found this fact sort of creepy, but for some reason, I found it kind of sweet. Mostly due to the situation he was in. And when his girlfriend broke up with him, I was so happy that he ended up taking it well. Whenever the soldiers go through anything tough, I get scared there's going to be a suicide.
