Brain damage is probably a greater wound to the person and those surrounding than the very tangible loss of limb.
Be careful with those translators, at no time does the citation say "World War II".

Thanks for the comments guys :).
The things that makes this award for me is his signature on his Record Card. 24 years after the event, he must still be struggling every day. Tom |
