In the US families placed a small flag in their windows with a blue star for every one of their children serving in the military. If a child died in the service the flag was changed to a gold star. God star mother was a term that referred to a mother whose child was killed in the war. I believe there was an organization of these women also as they would march together in parades after the war.
