More than 16,000 Canadian soldiers suffered from shell shock during
the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Despite significant interest from
historians, we still know relatively little about how it was
experienced, diagnosed, treated, and managed in the frontline
trenches in the Canadian and British forces. How did soldiers
relate to suffering comrades? Did large numbers of shell shock
cases affect the outcome of important battles? Was frontline
psychiatric treatment as effective as many experts claimed after
the war? Were Canadians treated any differently than other
Commonwealth soldiers? A Weary Road is the first comprehensive
study to address these important questions. Author Mark Osborne
Humphries uses research from Canadian, British, and Australian
archives, including hundreds of newly available hospital records
and patient medical files, to provide a history of war trauma as it
was experienced, treated, and managed by ordinary soldiers.
