Ways civilians helped during the war was paying taxes. Paying helped support the war. If a civilian payed their taxes part of their taxes is helped to pay for weapons and supplies. Civilians also either donated food or clothing to the soldiers. Some woman made blankets for the soldiers. The blankets were usually sent around fall so they can keep warm.Some civilians helped nurse the injured or sick soldiers. Some civilians were former soldiers that retired and with their experience they helped train the new soldiers.
What I miss from my civilians life is being with my family. I miss laughing joyfully with my friends. I miss sleeping peacefully. Now i have to be on the guard making sure we don't get bombed while sleeping. I miss spending holidays with my family. I really miss my home cookings. I miss living peacefully. I miss living under my roof where i can sleep and eat without leaks and out in the rain.
