The children who lived in Great Britain were also excited about the war. They were a little bit apprehensive because the colonies might gain their freedom. The British as a whole were very confident that they were going to win the war. Some of the children had to deal with inner struggles. One thing that was especially hard for the children who lived on Great Britain was that, if there father had went away to war, they wouldn't known if he was alive or dead. Many young children's parents had to go away to war. The children wondering if they would ever see them again. Imagine what it would be like to have your father go away to war and you didn't know if he would be coming back or not. Imagine how horrifying it would be to get a telegram saying that your mother or father was killed in the war. The children in England were in the dark for a lot of the battle. They did not know if their parents were alive or dead.
If your father wasn't a soldier in the war, you would hear about the war but it wouldn't be that big of a part of your life. You could play and attend school just like you did before all of the war drama happened. Of course, the children who did have a parent in the war would still have to go to school but they would be very sad, upset, and maybe even angry inside. As you can imagine, if your father went away to war, your life would be very different. He wouldn't be at home and someone would have to take care of his duties. This may be you or another member in your family.
