Hurley’s next letter, written less than two weeks later, explains again that he’s in the hospital for “exhaustion.” His prose reveals the landscape of combat stress. It was a specter that appeared in different forms to those in different war theaters. Infantrymen like Hurley, who made shore assaults, emerged from landing craft and waded toward the beach under hellish artillery fire and gunfire. The “screaming mimis” he mentions were German rockets nicknamed for the sound they made as they hurtled toward their targets. The intensity of battle combined with lengthy campaigns tore at the seams of sanity. Hurley clung to his correspondence with Dr. Post, grateful for every edition of the News Letter.
