My husband (now 90) served in the navy in the North Africa, Messina, Malta, Gibraltar and a few others, but never really spoke of what he saw or did as, he said once, he wants to forget seeing his mates plastered all over the side of the ships, but would smile at memories of taking the Army lads down the Irish Sea in stormy seas. He said the Army were ill everywhere, yet the Navy kept control of their stomachs
Has anyone experienced relatives who have gone through the war (and seen things they would rather forget) suffer flash-backs or have the memories dredged up by dementia? Can it happen?
It hasn't happened to my hubby yet, but I always wonder if it's possible...
