And apparently so have you Raggy:

"However many years later the last surviving soldier of WW1 decides that perhaps we SHOULD know what actually happened all those years ago." - Raggytash

Ehmmm I hate to keep dragging your attention back to this Raggy but how on earth could the last surviving soldier of WWI state what actually happened all those years ago to soldiers suffering from shell shock when he himself clearly states that he never saw anyone suffering from shell shock or experienced the condition himself? Just asking, and to date you have not given any explanation as to how that could be - I on the other hand have - he did not "witness" it he heard stories - nobody knows where these stories originated from - but just along the front lines in the French section summary executions were being carried out.

Harry Patch was quite good with both names and knicknames of those he served with - yet he didn't come up with any names for people he had "seen" officers shoot, come to think of it he couldn't name any of the officers either, and believe me Raggy, everybody who serves knows the names of their NCOs and Officers.
