This is sort of a sad but hopeful story about men in at war and they things they carried on them, both physically and mentally. Some of these things were necessities, others were for luck, and some were to remind them of someone at home or someone they loved. The author explains in great detail what each man carried and you can almost feel the weight of it all.
The author sets a very serious tone for the story, told from a third person view as the author uses "they" throughout the story. He mentions death and how everything can change in an instant while at war. The things that each man carried were something to get them through this tough time at war. The story is sort of eerie as you never quite know whats going to happen next, just like at war.
