I mean war always has been a part of our life since the first civilizations was established. I’m sure “shellshock” wasn’t only caused by artilery shots.

Sustained battles.

Previously most active battles lasted hours. Maybe a couple days at most. In WW1 you could be under bombardment for days on end. You could be part of a battle that lasted for MONTHS without a break.
