"There was a youthful private who listened with eager ears to the words of the tall soldier and to the varied comments of his comrades." (Chapter 1)

Wilson was the loud private because he always needed to put his word in, or get the opposing side in. Wilson was a man of words.

Finally he said: "Well, you don't know everything in the world, do you?" (Chapter 1)

"He seemed no more to be continually regarding the proportions of his personal prowess. He was not furious at small words that pricked his conceits. He was no more a loud young soldier." (Chapter 14)

Wilson now is a mature man, knowing that his fellow comrades died where he did not. Even after the first battle, Henry notices that there are drastic changes in Wilson's character, and they are for the good.
