@Steeveriffic: soldiers during WWI who were sent to psychiatric stations for rehabilitation were actually not sent back to the front. They were typically prepared for reintroduction to civilian life through agricultural work and handicrafts on rural farms and were expect to do their "duty" by resuming productive lives at home. Psychiatrists widely believed that symptoms of war neurosis, as it was called, were contagious and therefore dangerous for healthy soldiers to witness.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you access these pieces of footage and any accompanying records from? Many thanks for uploading these invaluable extracts.
This was so tramatic. I doubt they cured their souls but only the tremors they had... This makes me so sad for them. I hope they were able to find peace either here on earth or in the after life.
I was in the national guard. An artillery unit. It doesn't take much to get a twitch from hearing cannons go off. Just being next to a 155mm cannon going off, one weekend ever other month for 3 years is all it took I can't go to a fireworks show because it makes me twich when I hear an explosion. You can get PSTD in the militarily just from training. You don't even need combat for that. Just listening to cannons and machine guns can do it.
@kentaur69 Thank you. I thought that, but then wondered if it was a medical term. These videos only show those who were cured, imagine the thousands who were incurable.
@hotelmario510. These men risked their lives for our country,and your laughing?It's not a laughing matter. Not "Funny-weird" nor "Funny-ha ha". They were treated as freaks,outsiders, like they didn't have emotions,as if they hadn't suffered the worst years of their lives.It's sick that you would even say stuff like that. PTSD is serious, alongside all the other traumatic things they suffered. So many of their friends and families couldn't bare the sight of them after this and you're laughing?
They were in a trench or dug-out that were hit with artillery or for some other reason got buried, and had to be dug out of there, as far as I understand.
My heart just expanded to a size I can't hold. I feel terrible for what these men have gone through.

The sad part is....how many other soldiers were shot for "cowardice" after finally breaking after months and months of uninterrupted trench warfare?
Far too many
My Father often spoke of a CATATONIA victim from WW II. The poor man, was hospitalized until he died.

Dang... These vids are traumatic.
That ending made me really happy :)
3:31 Good God. I can't imagine what he went through to become that traumatized.
Many broken lifes because of this horrible war ...God bless them ...
There soldiers an stronger than anyone no matter what they are honoured for there sacrifice may they be in peace an not stuck in a nightmare
I think it refers to being covered by dirt after an explosion or trench collapse?
result after RE-EDUCATION? Wow thats just horrific....

Thanks for the video
What's "re-education" means? Electroshock? Because the time spent for "re-education" is so small compared to the starting problem.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO KNOW
Steady on old chap!

Yes, except the people who recovered were sent back to the front...
Nerve damage? Body is in shock…
@The2Lad ...I was merely making a statement. I meant "funny weird" rather than "funny ha-ha".
what is the "after burial thing?
Have a look at my site to find out more about Netley hospital and it's cemetery www.netley-military-cemetery.co.uk
it's both, but mostly shell shock.
What becsme of these men after hostilities??
Did they ever have relapses of their symptoms??
that's nearly a century ago, wow...
Soon next war
Бедные люди, мне очень их жалко:((
@hotelmario510 ohh well that makes sense
@hotelmario510 Did he say it is funny? I wondered about the burial thing too
This might be a dumb question, but what do they mean by "burial"?
They were in a trench or dug-out that were hit with artillery or for some other reason got buried, and had to be dug out of there, as far as I understand.
This is not funny. I have been to war and seen the effects of it. Be effin respectful
What does ""from burial"" mean?
...geeesszzz...what people do
to one another....
Or very good actors
@machokyle45 Yeah. Funny what traumatic psychological experiences can do to your body.

@bearminator90 re-education was anything to get the them better. Electroshock, brainwash, making them face their fears, anything
