This is all fine by me but
2025-98 = 1927
1945-1927 = 18
1939-1927 = 12
🤨You should look into how many people lied about their age and enlisted.
An example: Jack Lucas. Born 1928, enlisted in '42 at 14. Invaded Iwo Jima. Received the Medal of Honor at 17 when he jumped on a grenade and survived. He went back to high school to get his diploma.
Exactly. Plus the article doesn’t state when he fought. He could’ve enlisted in '43 at 16 for example
A brief Google tells me he enlisted in the British military at 16 in '44 just before D-day. That may be incorrect because there are a few people with his name that served in the Bri’ish military, but the one I found was a tanker.
