My wife's (maternal) grandfather a PO serving on HMS Queen Elizabeth at Gallipoli, was cox'n for a string of whalers bringing out casualties from the beaches to the hospital ships. Never spoke about it, but was haunted by it, reliving those times as he descended into dementia in his late 80's continually shouting 'Those poor boys, those poor boys!'
