who saw five of her children join the war effort / go off to war
и пара более сильных вариантов, хотя и намекающих на то, что они все погибли (Вы уже пояснили, кажется, что двое из пяти вернулись живыми):
whom the war robbed of five of her children
whom the war separated from five of her children

Well, that's debatable imho...I was initially toying with the idea of "losing or sacrificing them to war" but that would have meant they all died. Here(again imho) отдала=проводила на войну (может и платочком махала, не знаю)
