I think you are talking about the trenches in World War 1. You would be taken to the rear, Court-Martialled (tried) and executed (shot). To have lost your mind because of crushing bombardment was not a defence. Because Officers, who had not experienced this condition, did not recognize it as a medical condition, and called it "cowardice in the face of the enemy".
