That soldier was captured by the enemy and horribly tortured so that he would reveal information on the enemy. However he never answered anything and he held for so long because he had this handkerchief to remind him of his family. Captain Valentine explained that he hid this handkerchief from the enemy by putting it on his eyesocket, as he went blind from one eye, and finally revealed that the date on the handkerchied was Funny's birthday.
