Sorry to hear about your mate. I assume you may be of an age where you did a spell in Ulster? I had a mate was in the RUC. He was shot in the chest and was off duty for about 5 months. He went back to work and was on nights, West Belfast, his wife was also RUC. I was going to work myself as Ken was just arriving home. He gave his wife a kiss as they passed each other on the driveway as she was going to work.
As I was about to get into my car I heard a bang. Ken had put his service pistol to his head, in the early 70's I don't suppose they knew what PTSD was.
Certainly not being funny here but the Army on tour in Ulster did what ? 4 to 6 months at a stretch, the RUC/PSNI lived it 7 days a week 52 weeks a year , year in year out.
Oh and believe I am eternally greatful for what the Army did for us in our little corner of the UK.
