The civic populace get it, and, as soon as they have been readjusted to the altered conditions forced on them by the presence of war, they become merely sluggish, dulled spectators of the great and moving events going on about them.

The nurses and the surgeons get it, or else they would go mad from the horrors that surround them.

The wounded get it, and cease from complaint and lamenting.
It is as though all the nerve ends in every human body were burnt blunt in the first hot gush of war.

Even the casual eyewitness gets it.

We got it ourselves; and not until we had quit the zone of hostilities did we shake it off.
