It helped soldiers fight infection during the war. The wounds they would acquire would be life threatening if penicillin and various other anti biotics were not around. Even after the wound was cleaned the chance of infection spreading throughout the body was very high and killed many soldiers. Penicillin was very affective during the war and saved many lives.

Yes, penicillin prevents the formation of new bacterial cell wall. If a bacteria reproduces, new cell wall cannot be produced and the cell lyses and dies.

Therefore penicillin is also called a bacteriostatic agent (prevents growth of bacteria), which means penicillin does stop bacteria from reproducing.
