The term "Lost Generation" was popularized by writer Gertrude Stein in the 1920s, who heard her French garage owner speak of his young auto mechanics as "une génération perdue" (a lost generation). The term later became associated with the disillusioned post-World War I generation of writers and artists, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
In World War I, many older people served in various support roles such as administrative duties, medical care, and other non-combat roles. Some older individuals also served as advisors or mentors to younger soldiers. Additionally, older individuals at home often took on extra work and responsibilities to support the war effort.
World War 1 affected civilians by causing widespread death and destruction, disrupting lives and homes, leading to food shortages and economic hardships, and provoking societal changes and trauma that lasted for years after the war ended. Additionally, civilians were often subject to censorship, propaganda, and government controls during the war.
In World War I, elderly people played important roles in supporting the war effort on the home front. They volunteered for organizations like the Red Cross, knitted socks and scarves for soldiers, and helped with rationing efforts. Their contributions were vital in providing care and comfort to those serving on the front lines.

Yes, WWI did create a "lost generation", which is what they refer to the survivors of WWI. However, this "lost" generation isn't exactly lost as in lost and found. This generation was lost in thought, because the Lost Generation did not know what to do after the war, and they felt depressed and scared. What they were lost in was in thought, and what they lost was hope and a feeling of security.
