Art

Stationary Sorter

Over the lockdown, we collected food cans and when we thought we had enough we brought out colored book wrapping paper and covered the cans to make them look all pretty. Once that was done we collected all our stationery like the color pencils, felt pens, gel pens, and crayons and organized it in different cans and made a whole art supplies center so it's organized and easy to use whenever we need it.

Summary

About 40 percent of the casualties from the Battle of Somme had suffered from shell shock, which is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder. Soldiers watched their friends die, shot at, gassed and all this became very overwhelming and they became confused. All this caused nightmares, sleepless nights, trembling and some also lost control of their limbs. For some civilians, all this was very difficult to understand and they thought the soldiers suffering from shell shock were cowards, unlike nurse Edna Pengelly who understood and tried to help them.
