Pte. George Henry Hunt

British Army Surrey Yeomanry

from:Windsor, Berkshire

Harry Hunt was my grandfather and served in WW1 as a member of the Surrey Yeomanry. He survived the war but came back a changed man. He would never really talk about the war, or his experiences, and never went abroad again, and indeed never wanted to. He obviously suffered from shell shock, or PTSD as it is known today. Whenever there was a thunderstorm, he would shake and hide in a room, away from family members. He just wanted to live a simple life, after all he had experienced during the war, and did so until he died in his eighties. He was truly a gentle man, in the true meaning of the term.
