Mental Cases

Mental Cases

Mental Cases is one of Wilfred Owen's more disturbing works. It describes war-torn men suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, otherwise known as shell shock. Owen based the poem on his experience of Craiglockhart Military Hospital, near Edinburgh, where he was invaldided in the summer of 1917, suffering from shell shock.
