What Elaine the Psychology lecturer said when I asked her about post traumatic stress dissorder...

Hi, because there are no set symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder it would be difficult to be specific here. I would suggest that you look at the following sites for an insight into war induced PTSD. There are case studies, poetry as well as more professional articles.
Even better would be to speak directly to a soldier with PTSD. I am sure Help for Heroes would be a good place to start.
I hope these help

Elaine

    It may be worth watching the animated documentary "Waltz with Bashir"
    It depicts Ari Folman's search of his lost memories from the 1982 Lebanon War. A genuine insight into the effects psychological trauma.

    It can be watched in its entirety on youtube (90 minutes):
