 I am receiving a lot of chatter about PTSD and its effects on Canadians who have served. It is not new.

After the dogfight, Captain Roy Brown, a Canadian serving in the Royal Flying Corps, went to a nearby aircraft hangar to see the body of the man he had shot down on 21 April 1918, Baron Manfred von Richthofen.
“His face, particularly peaceful, had an expression of gentleness and goodness, of refinement,” Brown later wrote.
“Suddenly I felt miserable, desperately unhappy, as if I had committed an injustice. With a feeling of shame, a kind of anger against myself...I could no longer look him in the face. I went away. I did not feel like a victor … If he had been my dearest friend, I could not have felt greater sorrow.”
