In the first chapter, the narrator mentions a rumor that Eddie injured his leg in the war during an altercation with another soldier but mentions that this information has never been verified. The uncertainty surrounding Eddie's injury foreshadows the Captain's revelation that he was actually the one who shot Eddie - and not to ruin his life, but to save it.
