In the first chapter, when Ralph says that the airport back at home will tell rescue where they are stranded, Piggy says, "Not them. Didn't you hear what the pilot said? About the atom bomb? They're all dead." Atomic bombs are launched at targets only during times of war, so it is safe to assume that a war is going on during the book.
In "Lord of the Flies," the boys find themselves on an uninhabited island during a wartime evacuation. This is evident when they discover the remains of a dead pilot in a parachuted jumpsuit and observe distant explosions, indicating an ongoing war elsewhere. The boys' presence on the island is a consequence of the larger conflict happening in the world outside.

In "Lord of the Flies," an example of apostrophe is when Simon speaks to the severed pig's head on a stick, known as the Lord of the Flies, as if it were a living being. This moment represents Simon's descent into madness and the novel's themes of savagery and the loss of humanity.
The island is at war and the boys long to go home to civilisation - which is also at war.
To reflect on Golding's experience in World War II
No time or date is stated in the story but references to a war, 'the bomb' and 'the reds' might lead the reader to supsect that the novel took place during some imagined future nuclear war against communism, set in some imagined and unstated future period after the book was written.
