I have experienced the kind of physical pain, that, to this very day, on re-call, makes me wince! Has kept a fresh place in my subconscious, lurking, ever since! Not felt on any battle-field, but produced in a rear hospital bed by an army nurse, rightly called "Butcher Bellamy" Who was supposed to s...
