Beecher (1955) compared World War II soldiers' experiences of pain on the battlefield with the pain experienced by civilians. He found that for injuries of similar severity, approximately 80% of the civilians requested painkillers and only 33% of the soldiers requested pain killers. The stress of battle, and possibly the realization that their injuries meant the soldiers were returning home,
seems to lessen the soldiers' pain.
