Artillery observers and PTSD (shell shock)
editI read once (I forget where) they observation balloon personnel had the highest rate of PTSD/shell shock of any units in World War One (because they were exposed to lethal danger for extended periods of time but could not fight back, they were traumatized by the experience of being powerless in the face of constant invisible mortal danger [they couldn't see the bullets coming at them generally but felt very exposed by being up in the air).Historian932 (talk) 05:13, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

- Makes sense to merge in my opinion. Kyteto (talk) 00:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom, I fail to see how espionage sufficiently differs from other types of observation to warrant its own page, and the lack of content on the page seems to bear this out. Carguychris (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
