apr 26, 1917 - Wilfred Owen is found and sent back to England

Description:

Wilfred Owen is found by a scouting party in a crater, along with the remains of a man named Joseph Rayner. He is found to be physically unharmed, but stated to have "the worst case of shell shock [the doctor's] ever seen," and as such is to be sent back to England for recuperation, presumably that same day or week (MAG 7). Date uncertain, confirmed to be a week and a half after the initial charge.
