Fifteen years after Ypres, a special commission in Ottawa calculated the dollar value of a rifle butt to the skull and a decade of nightmares.
There should be a memorial to these men in Ottawa, even, if necessary, in the Canadian War Museum. They are victims of war as much as the dead.
Are all of the names of the claimants listed somewhere?
