How would he have felt about leaving NZ to fight overseas?
I think that he would have felt scared to leave NZ to go overseas but also feel proud to fight for his country.

How would he have felt during the conflict?
I think that he would have felt like there was a reason to cause the war like as in he must be wondering "How this war started" or "Why should we fight when we can just continue with our lives" I think he would have felt scared also during the war and felt confused.
