Thank you for the official names of the regiments. I have spent many many hours searching for where, when & what the Highland Lt Infantry of Cda did overseas from 1940 to the end of the war and have gathered a good bit of their history. A lot of it has made me cry. Now I have started on the Royal Cdn Engineers and there doesn't seem to be much on the net but I'm just starting. I was only 7 years old when the war ended. I remember spending a weekend visit at my grandmother's where one of my uncles was living. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear him screaming. My grandmother told me he was having a "bad dream". She told me my other uncles had "bad dreams" too. I didn't understand then. Now, as I read more and more about World War II I can only imagine what those nightmares were.

They gave it a name after Vietnam, PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrone, back in WW2 it was shell shock - it is not a pleasant life, I have PTSD from my previous employment. ----- Original Message ----- From: "logan" <afineday@ontariointernet.com> To: <WORLDWAR2-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [WORLD WAR II] Canadian Info | Thank you for the official names of the regiments.

Hi All: The American whose body was found recently in the Solomons was a soldier not an airman, Private Martin Odenthal, who died on 10 January 1943 in the Battle of Guadalcanal. His brother Albert died later on Guadalcanal, and another brother Ralph in the Navy was sent home after news of the deaths came through. His unmarked grave could not be found after the war, but his remains and dog tag were found by Sam Besi from the village of Barana recently, and were sent back to America last week. Also 35 used shells from his M1 Garrand rifle. A New Zealand Regional Assistance (Ramsi) Police team assisted in the return. (Dominion Post of 24 March 2006; Wellington NZ). From the Solomon Star, centre column: http://www.solomonstarnews.com/drupal-4.4.1/?q=node/view/7196 Yours, John Wilson (New Zealand)

'I woke up in the middle of the night to hear him screaming. My grandmother told me he was having a "bad dream". She told me my other uncles had "bad dreams" too.' So many returned from the war, but not the same as they entered it! Remember the dead, but please do not forget the living!

They called it shell shock back then - after Vietnam they gave it a name, PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome - I suffer from PTSD and you do not get over it, you try to get thru it - so many just give up and so many take their lives - the nightmares and the flashbacks take over your life - my children are my children but I hardly ever see them - many nights I would wake up screaming for my mother to help - ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Taylor" <johnataylor@btinternet.com> To: <WORLDWAR2-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 12:10 PM Subject: RE: [WORLD WAR II] Canadian Info | 'I woke up in the middle of the night to hear him screaming.

Can whoever has been resending posts from January 13th please STOP? For the past couple of days I have been getting posts with the subject "Canadian Info" and they are all dated 1/13/06. At first I thought they were delayed by my ISP but they investigated and said no, they are being manually re-sent for some reason and without the current date being inserted. Please stop. Thank you! Sue

Hello Sue I believe the posts you are describing may be mine. I have not intentionally sent any posts to you, I have posted I believe 4 times to the World War 11 list. The clock on my computer is stuck at January the 13 and even when I try resetting it it just ends up lagging behind again. I am sorry if it has caused you any grief.
