 Kamal Ram was a Sepoy in the 8th Punjab Regiment of the British Indian Army during World War II. He was only 19 years old when his battalion was assaulted by the German forces. His battalion was held up by heavy machine-gun fire and they needed a volunteer to clear the area. He volunteered and single-handedly killed the first and second machine gunners and then killed the German officer appearing from the trenches. Kamal then proceeded to, by himself, attack and defeat the remaining posts. He and his battalion continued to take over the area, which could not have been done without his bravery and selflessness.<ref> THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE VICTORIA AND GEORGE CROSS . (n.d.).

 Joan Daphne Pearson is one of the first women to be awarded the George Cross for bravery during World War II. She was given this award for saving several men from an aircraft crash during the middle of the night. Seeing that Joan Daphne was the first responder to the scene, she decided to try to get medical attention to the seriously injured airmen. There were many bombs aboard the wreckage and she was risking her life trying to save him, but that did not deter her from getting the pilot out of the cockpit. However, after getting him about 30 yards from the wreckage, a 120lb bomb exploded and she immediately used herself as a shield to protect him. When the other rescuers found her, she left to see if anyone else survived. Joan Daphne risked her life for the well-being of others and that’s what made her the award recipient of the George Cross. <ref> George Cross & GC. (n.d.).

 In an effort to conserve supplies for those on the front lines, many government propaganda posters were created for both sides of the war.These posters encouraged the consumption of less bread and to growth personal gardens to increase food supplies. Families on both sides also had a form of rationing book and coupons to receive a monitored amount of necessities like milk and sugar. Families with young children and newborns were given a larger supply of supplies such as milk, but it was not significantly more than the standard portion. German rationing had come to the point where the people were making bread containing sawdust, tobacco with tree bark, and coffee made out of barley.
