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.

Shell shock wasn’t discovered during WW1. It’s the first time it was called that, but the idea of a big battle causing trauma in the survivors is about as old as big battles.
That said, WW1 was the first time a war of that size and deadliness occurred. You can’t really compare two people’s trauma, but suffice it to say that the survivors had plenty of stress to be post-traumatic about.
