A limited biography of English composer and Great War Poet Ivor Bertie Gurney, focusing on his life of unspeakable horror in the trenches of World War I, his discharge, and his battle with shell shock, which lead to his commitment to an asylum for the last 15 years of his life. As a common soldier, Gurney was victimized by opposing medical treatments for shell shock. The official medical history of the war shows there were two different forms of treatment for shell shock administered during the war. Officers, such as fellow war poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, received the more humane psychoanalysis treatment, which helped them confront their terrifying war memories---making it easier for them to return to a normal life upon discharge. By comparison, the common soldier received the harsher treatment known as disciplinary therapy. This method labeled members of the ranks, such as Gurney, as malingerers and tortured them with electrical shocks, which forced them back to the front line and worsened their condition. This placed a full recovery out of their reach and doomed them, the common soldiers, to the torment of their repressed memories and led them to suicide or lifelong asylum commitment.

This study brings into focus Ivor Gurney's unique contribution to the history of the Great War and the shell shock soldier. He is the only war poet who gives voice to the victims of disciplinary therapy. While many war poets mention shell shock in their poetry, Gurney is the only one who speaks of electrical shock treatment from experience and complains bitterly about being unjustly confined as a madman. His epistolary poetry provides a window on the confusion, anger and despair the patient felt. Often in his epistles he cried out for help, release and for an end to his imprisonment---an answer never came. Now 70 years later, Gurney's work seeks recognition for its value as the record of the quintessential damaged man who fell through the cracks of shell shock in the Great War.
