    My dad's cousin was 13 years old when he enlisted in WW1 and my dad was 17 years old when he enlisted in1938. Runs in the family! My dad's cousin also faked his identity and enlisted under his uncle's name and details. He was caught for being under age but the Army never found out that he was not who he said he was, a fact that I only recently discovered.
