I don't know if the war theme is meant to apply only to Joey. The first time we hear it is when Albert's mom pulls out his dad's war medals.

I think that's a different theme. I remember hearing the "War Theme" first during the buildup to the Plowing sequence

There is a separate small horn motif for the war medals and regimental standard which is repeated almost every time it exchanges hands.I think that's a different theme. I remember hearing the "War Theme" first during the buildup to the Plownig sequence
War/Perseverance/Dignity is used in the scenes involving Joey and his nobility and willingness to persevere and help others and it also underscores the tragedy of the war itself.
Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-
