A great many troops return with everything from permanent ringing in their ears to hearing loss. Although they are provided with specialized hearing protection during training and on duty, some don’t use it because they want their senses to be more acuten e in certain situations, others don’t wear the protection correctly and still others lose it in the heat…

Were you a fan of the Charles Dickens book? I had never read Great Expectations. I’d seen adaptations on the telly before so I knew roughly who Miss Havisham was and I thought, Oh, she sounds great.
