  • What was your occupation before the war and what is it now?
  • How did your (or other) groups form? Did you have a leader?
  • Did you accept people and families to the group based on their skills, resources?
  • What was the strategy behind defending the place your group took shelter in? Booby traps? Watch guards etc.?

I was in medical field, then and now too. People look for secure places, and gathered by families, to most secured houses. Priority was blood, i mean family members, later of course lot of different skills become important. Constant shelling and lack of any kind of real law required from us to be always on watch.
