Then having read your story I understood. At his age and as a family man with his own business, he must have felt like the "old man" of his company. Britain assembled its regiments around local recruiting offices so Edward probably knew his mates or their parents too. So it's no wonder that many soldiers returned from the trauma of war with scars that no one could see.

My father treated veterans with mental illness for his entire (2nd) career as a clinical psychologist. It was rewarding work that he loved, but I know he had patients who needed care forever. Back in Edward's time, though, there was so little help available.Anna Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900231457574329121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-87688535119265631882016-11-07T17:27:53.933+00:002016-11-07T17:27:53.933+00:00It sounds very much like Edward suffered from Post...It sounds very much like Edward suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder but back then, there wasn't much help for men returning from the war with such disorders.
