True, it was a real shame although the way these guys were treated depended on the force they were serving in.In Germany, shellshock was finally recognized as Granatenfieber, people suffering this kind of nervous breakdown were sent off the active duty.
On the other hand, in the same time victims of shellshock were treated as deserters or cowards by the British Army
