Extract

My interest in this subject was aroused during the first few weeks of the campaign in Normandy, when seemingly large numbers of these cases were known to be undergoing surgical treatment. At that time the rapid flow of psychiatric cases prevented a clear view of the significance of the situation as it was impossible to know accurately whether these wounded were in high proportion to the number of troops in action or to the total of battle casualties.
