  • In a way, I feel bad that this brave Canadian WWI soldier is remembered as some creepy guy who lost his mind even though that isn’t even close to the truth. Lindsay Rogers was a major badass.

    Vietnam changed me in ways I can't fully explain. The constant fear, the uncertainty, it's like a shadow that follows me everywhere. Shell shock isn't just a memory, it's a part of who I am now, a reminder of the price we paid for serving our country.
    Id like to thank all of you whom have been very generous and kind. I’m almost in tears to see how much it meant to serve, not only to me, but to the Americans I did it for. Thank you and god bless.

      Yeah, World War One, despite being one of the most prominently influential wars of the 20th century, is generally one of the most niche-like subjects in the realm of major, world changing conflicts.
      Everyone talks about WW2, about Vietnam, about the Middle East, about Waterloo, about Korea, about the civil wars of various nations, about the Seven Years War and the American revolution, about the many wars of swords and bows and spears, about all of these things. But the war whose final motif was "Lest We Forget" has been almost completely disregarded by the average Joe of today's day and age.
      Because tell me: How many films, how many games, how many books, how many of _anything_ have you seen based on WW1? Chances are likely that it's not very big of a number.
      We promised that, as the sun goes down and in the morning, that we'd remember them, but we're already starting to forget...

      @JarrodFrates Год назад +24

      ​@@oldschoolChazzed That's a vast oversimplification. Raw infantry waves were used early on but quickly fell out of favor as wasteful. More than anything else, WW1 was an artillery war. Somewhere between two-thirds and three-fourths of all casualties were from artillery. Infantry charges were used later (you can't take ground if you sit in a trench), but they usually came after artillery tried to soften up the area. There were trenches trying to take each other at closer ranges than artillery could engage without risking dropping rounds on friendly lines, but these were much less common than the artillery fights. The war also saw revolutions in reconnaissance from aircraft, use of bombers (both zeppelin and prop plane), development of the tank and other armor, and new kinds of maneuver warfare.
      In short, it was horrific and an example of what industrialized war can do, but it was not the trope of callous officers ordering their men to be bullet sponges.

When he came back, the poor man had lost his mind. He would walk on the streets and suddenly he would fall on the ground shouting " Fight brothers, we are going to win them, hold strong" and other things, and he would behave as if he was on the battle field.

      Except that new recruits are more likely to die than those that have already seen combat.The largest chunk of the fatalities tend to come in the first couple weeks of combat. After that, the numbers drop significantly. Yes, there is some increase in risk as time goes by, military service is risky, but it's not anywhere near as risky as that first bit. Plus, when it comes to a larger scale war like WWI there may not even be people available to enlist after a while if re-enlisting is off the table.

    One of my great uncles served in WWI, he was tasked with the grisley job of running out into "no man's land" to recover soldiers who had been wounded. He'd go out typically with 3-4 people, 2 people to carry a stretcher, 1-2 people to cover them. He ended up being shot in the back while trying to rescue a wounded soldier. He's still buried in France.

    Thank you for the explanation! It kind of annoys me when they use the picture thinking it was shell shock , which it isn’t. It’s just the soldier who smiled while getting medical attention after got shot, just like you mentioned.

    • @williamsmith1803
      @williamsmith1803 5 месяцев назад

      Who's there actually to say he wasn't shell shocked, though? It seems like you and this guy just want to be on the alternative side to everything. If this exact explanation is to be believed, this guy had a serious and potentially fatal wound and had just watched his ally die in front of him from the exact same bullet, yet chose to smile big for a photograph back when --- despite this youtuber's whopping 3 examples --- hardly anyone chose to smile for pictures --- nevermind in combat. That's why everyone else in the picture was smiling too, right? Not only that, but he chose to return to combat despite an injury he could've milked to possibly go back home. This sounds a lot like what happened to Civil War vets who were all miraculously "fine" and suffered no PTSD from much, much more grisly combat than those from most-to-all wars thereafter, simply because they weren't diagnosed with PTSD or "shell-shock" back then. It has long been theorized that the entire "wild west" era of triggerhappy ginslingers and bloodletters was largely a result of the extremely young boys hardened by war returning to society with no clue of how to get along as a normal person.

He dropped off the paperwork and waited while it was being processed. He chatted with several WW I and WW I I veterans and some mentioned that they had been there since their respective wars due to long term effects and injuries. There was one chap that was in a constant delirium and had been a resident since the early 1920’s when someone realized that he wasn’t going to get better. Others had numerous limbs missing or were disfigured by scar tissue from burns.

      It wasn’t any of those, but it does capture the idea very well. People with a thousand yard stare or whom were shell shocked often had a completely sane look on their face until they were brought to peace to some extent. After that their faces would turn normal, but their behavior remained questioned. For example: a soldier who was in a ward was deaf due to shell shock, but the only thing he would respond to (and his response was taking cover under beds) was the word “bomb”.

The old nobles might not have died, but their sons probably did. The war was all their fault tho so good riddance I suppose.

    While I was watching this I bumped my phone and it started playing a Warhammer 40K recorded book about Cadian Infantry.
    I thought it was part of the video at first but it fits so perfectly he's traumatized because of the war with chaos

    Thank you for researching this photo and educating us all. So I’ve been told by so many that this was shell shock.
