In chapter 4 of Animal Farm by George Orwell, Boxer fights courageously, as does Snowball, and the humans suffer a quick defeat. The animals' losses amount only to a single sheep; they give him a hero's burial. Boxer believes that he has unintentionally killed a stable boy in the chaos, he expresses his regret at taking a life, even though it is a human one. Snowball tells him not to feel guilty. Mollie, as is her custom, has avoided any risk to herself by hiding during the battle. Snowball and Boxer each receive medals with the inscription "Animal Hero, First Class." The animals discover Mr. Jones's gun where he dropped it in the mud. They place it at the base of the flagstaff, agreeing to fire it twice a year: on October 12th, the anniversary of the Battle of the Cowshed—as they have dubbed their victory—and on Midsummer's Day, the anniversary of the Rebellion.
