My father was in the 2/1 battalion in Crete. He was subsequently captured by the Germans and spent over 4 years as a POW. He escaped on several occasions. When he returned from the war he was suffering from PTSD and persistent headaches. He died of a PTSD related accident at a railway station in Melbourne when I was 3 years of age. At that time DVA did not recognise PTSD and it was some years before my mother was finally able to get a DVA card. Our family was ably assisted by Legacy once that occurred.
