Memorial plaque 934 Garratt Lane,Tooting Youngest British soldiers in World War I - Wikipedia Sidney George Lewis - WW1 Memorial and Life Story
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.
