PTSD 65,000 in 19 British military hospitals for Shell Shock

Continuation of previous blog

There were so many officers and men suffering from shell shock that 19 British military hospitals were wholly devoted to the treatment of cases.

Those wounded during battle would wear an armband to signify the physically wounded from the emotionally wounded.

Ten years after the war, 65,000 veterans of the war were still receiving treatment for it in Britain.
