Doing my Job Two Ways

I was two things, I was a combatant soldier and I was also a non-combatant soldier and I did my job both ways. One was easier than the other but it was not totally easy because you are always vulnerable and if you’re in England before it’s a hot war you are still vulnerable because you could have been bombed on with a flying bomb or with a rocket coming down you didn’t even hear especially if you were in London or Plymouth or any of the places where that happened early in the war. So the civilians and the soldiers share a common threat. The vulnerability that they experience as just being alive.
