Those with neurotic problems - I don’t mean neurotic in the flippant sense when someone is fussing unneccesarily, Imean deep seated psychoses from the indescribable horrors they witnessed , sadly many took their own lives.
Society was moving on ,but they could not, locked in their feelings that people were not caring any more, were not bothered about the astronomical losses and personal tragedies, they felt so alone.
How could they forget when the nightmares came every night.!
My aunt’s husband took his own life ,a young family too ,she was only thirty.
Were people more stoical then ?
Life certainly wasn’t easy for working class people.
And not to forget that after the war millions were unemployed, the dole queues, the means tests, etc.
A land fit for heroes————-hardly.
