They wrote letters to families of the soldiers that were killed in action. They were under constant threat of being killed or dismembered. They were constantly on the lookout for machine guns, rifles, mortar rounds, and every other threat imaginable.

The second set of criteria for diagnosing PTSD is simply named "B." This is the "intrusive recollection" criteria (DSM-III 387). This section states that the traumatic event remains long after the event or events actually happened. Not only does this experience stay with you but it must be a "dominating psychological experience that retains it power to evoke panic, terror, dread, grief, or despair" (DSM-III 388). These can uncover in the form of daytime fantasies, traumatic nightmares, and flashbacks (DSM-III 388). The residents of Craiglockhart exhibit these symptoms as well. Sassoon recalls the day when he saw rotting corpses litter the ground. Sassoon knew all too well that this was a figment of his imagination. Burns and many others had terrible nightmares that involved screaming and crying out. Sassoon also had a vision of a man in the doorway of his room at Craiglockhart. The "B" criteria were visible in almost every patient in Craiglockhart.
The third set of criteria named "C" is the avoidant or numbing symptoms (DSM-III 388). This set consists of symptoms that "reflect behavioral, cognitive, or emotional strategies that PTSD patients use in an attempt to reduce the likelihood that they will expose themselves to trauma-related stimuli" (DSM-III 389). Symptoms in this category include agoraphobia, repression, dissociation, and amnesia. Again the patients in Regeneration are a perfect model for the diagnosis of PTSD. Prior could not remember a portion of time before his "breakdown." The patients did not want to talk about any of their traumatic experiences.
