March 22, 1917
You don’t realize how many fates there are until you read the casualty list:
- Killed in action
- Died
- Wounded
- Dangerously ill
- Seriously ill
- Presumed to have died
- Unofficially prisoner
- Died of wounds
- Believed killed
- Missing
- Shell shock
- Prisoner of war
- Accidentally killed
I heard that they used to execute the shell shocked casualties but some of them come home now.

It’s the names that remind us what we had in common with these brave men.
