It would have been the main topic of conversation everywhere, and the buildings and streets they were playing in might have already seen combat. It's not out of the ordinary for children in these circumstances to play war. Joseph – in 1915, they WERE at war.

Young girls play with dolls, even though this completely glosses over the difficulty and sometimes heartache of the reality of childcare. War is a fact of life too, if you're going to be disturbed, go be disturbed about one the real wars going on this minute, go do something about the situation. These kids aren't hurting anyone, it's just a game. A cute game at that. It is cute – kids will play at reality, however harsh and cold that reality is.
