doolally: Uncle Eddie's gone doolally again. From the Indian town of Deolali where British soldiers were sent to wait for the next ship home and also had a sanitorium for those who had suffered battle fatique or other illnesses. Because there might be months delay between ships back to England, many of the soldiers went doolally while waiting. I think he did a good job of explaining the condition.

Maybe but not sure that the first frame comes from the movie All Quiet on the Western Front or maybe Kubrick's Paths of Glory.
