Saturday
22nd December 1917: The verdict of “suicide while temporarily
insane” returned at an inquest held in Luton yesterday afternoon is a sad
reminder that mental wounds as well as physical injuries are producing
casualties in this war. John Long, a 44 year old carpenter of Cobden Street had
been discharged from the Army, and had recently been strange in his manner and
suffered from insomnia. While he was in the Army he had been “upset” by the air
raids.
