What makes the narrator in ernest hemingway's short story "in another country" believe he is not as heroic as the other soldiers

Hemingway's "In Another Country" is a story that could be somehow considered autobiographical.

The narrator of the story found himself in the midst of World War I. In this story, the narrator met Italian soldiers that had been wounded during the war, and were being treated in order to cure their injuries.

At first, the narrator and the soldiers got along pretty well, but as time went on, they drifted apart from each other.

While these soldiers fought in the trenches, and suffered injuries, the narrator received medals only because he was American, and for this reason he felt he was not as brave and heroic as the soldiers who actually fought, because he didn't "earn" his medals like the Italian soldiers did.

D. He did not receive his medals for acts of bravery
