I couldnt even begin to imagine what people went through in the war. My grandad was in the first war…like many he lied about his age….after a year his mother had him sent home. I still have the picture of him in his uniform. 16 November, 2013 at 11:06 pm #472821 J_in_France We are about 90 minutes from there and I hope to find time to go there soon I think a lot of people lied about their age – my father in law included who signed up aged 15 to fight in the Indian sub-continent during WW2 16 November, 2013 at 11:11 pm #472822 a certain sadness There were boys of 15 and 16 going over the top at the somme.
