What injuries did soldiers get in World War 1?
It's really difficult to answer this question. There were so many horrific wounds inflicted that to say "This was the worst" is impossible. Poison gas attacks left men permanently scarred for the remainder of their lives. Their lungs were burned and they could never breath properly again. Again poison gas caused ghastly burns to the skin. Head injuries, lost limbs, hard to say. You could also consider the damage done to the minds some of the worst. Shell shocked troops could hardly dress themselves, let alone fight the enemy.

What slapping incidents happened during world war 2?
Answer General George Patton visited some soldiers in the hospital on Sicily in 1943. When he found out that some of the soldiers were not physically wounded but only experiencing "shell shock", he became outraged and slapped one for being a coward. Some say there were two incidents of this. When this was reported in the press, it was not well received. General Eisenhower had to reprimand Gen. Patton and some say his command was taken away from him for this incident. There may have been more slapping incidents on the British or German sides but usually this was such a minor event in the light of the attrocities and tremendous loss in battle.
