- This qualitative study used interviews with four Australian Army Veterans who grew up with a father in the military to explore how combat trauma experiences across multiple generations may be consequential for Veterans. Veterans discussed the personal and relational consequences of their fathers’ combat trauma, as well as the combat trauma that they experienced themselves. Several themes emerged from the interviews demonstrating that, despite strained father-son relationships and combat stress, Veterans found opportunities for growth.
