We have been learning about world war 1 in my class. Here are the questions that I answered.
Who did the jobs when the men went to fight?
In world war 1 many men left New Zealand to go and fight, which meant that lots of jobs were
left unattended. So many women would have had to tend to the jobs, which would have been
a big change of scenery for the woman at the time. Also the young boys in the village would
have to step up to the challenge while men were at work
Why did they need gas masks?
In world war 1 there were a large number of gas attacks that killed or blinded many men,
so as you can see it would be a necessity to surviving.
