This is so profoundly meaningful, brilliantly written, produced, acted. I especially liked that the man handing him the cigarette for comfort and empathy at the end was a modern soldier in camo! High time we honour the horrors faced by soldiers then and now. My father, grandfathers, great grandfathers, great uncles :( King & Country, ha! I shared this to a group I'm in that honours these losses and services year-round. Thank you to all who produced this video. It's up there with the recent epic films "1917" & "All Quiet on the Western Front". His remembrance of punishment for disobedience as a child...Despair! Again, so profound!

@@jameshawksley5893 Three great uncles lost to WWI. Just so dreadful. I think you completely nailed the disorientation/dissociation of PTSD. You did a great service to wounded warriors! My father had unresolved PTSD for 64 years after WWII. He did his very best but bemoaned a major Italy battle while in the hospital at 84. To carry that pain for so long!
