Original Note:
The man pictured here is Private Robert Lindsay Rogers of the 25th Battalion, CEF, on the morning of Sept. 16, 1916. Rogers had just survived the night after sustaining a sniper shot to the neck. His smile is not from shell shock, but likely from joy and disbelief. https://www.quora.com/Who-was-and-what-became-of-the-photographed-soldier-made-famous-for-being-shell-shocked-in-WWI
