Interestingly, though so many men who survived WWI would talk about it only reluctantly and had it's mark left on them mentally as well as physically, my Grandpa seemed to have had a whale of a time. Despite the horror of it he sounded as though he enjoyed himself and would tell you stories about it for hours. He suffered no lasting psychological effects and I've often thought it was because he did talk about it so freely rather than bottle it up. He died at the age of 82. Funny...it was his wife who suffered the shakes from Parkinsons disease.
