"The rain fell in a cold, sad drizzle" (page 169). O' Brien uses personification by giving emotion to the rain. He does this to emphasize the sad tone of the day. Kiowa died the night before, and now the soldiers were searching for his body. 
Many of them felt responsible for his death, so they each took the blame upon themselves. They were all sad because they had lost a good soldier and a friend. Kiowa was friends with many of them, and they all felt responsible for either causing his death or not being able to save him. There was a sad tone around the 
camp that day, so O' Brien portrayed this through personifying the rain.
