Question

1. Why does the narrator use the word 'alleged' when
he talks of the enemy soldier?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The narrator uses the word 'alleged' when he talks of enemy soldier, because their enmity is alleged only, as they have no real enmity. The soldier feels as if his counterpart was a brother to him. These are only power- hungry politicians, who have made them enemies of each other.
