William Henry's Story

A young man badly wounded and damaged for life by this terrible war.

An insular man, who survived a trerrible chest wound which damaged his health forever afterwards, who never had a peaceful nights sleep for the rest of his life. The nightmares were every night as long as I can remember. sometime in the night he would relive the horror.
