MOMCILO GAVRIΔ SERBIA 9 yrs old WWI
15 year olds volunteered to go fight in a war 15 year olds nowadays are Offended
One of the really shameful parts of this story was the white feather girls. They would throw them at the menfolk not in uniform to accuse them of cowardice, basically telling them to do sonething they themselves never would. This included these underage teenage boys too, many of whom never came home. Hundreds of accounts came out about it but when the white feather girls were asked to tell their side of the story by the BBC in 1922 only two came forward. Both were ashamed and regretted what they did, and rightly so.
My grandfather signed up and shipped out underage with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was sent back from the front after the political action of parents across the British Empire, and like many others like him, wasnβt happy about leaving the battle front. Itβs probably lucky for me and my mother that he was sent back. His brother was killed at Passchendaele in November 1917. I believe the battle you mention here is the Somme (rhymes with bomb).
Kids make the best soldiers hate to say it but its ture smaller target faster lighter to carry if injuries an have less fear of death due to the young age and transportation can take more to the field
The youngest soldier was 8 yrs old…momΔilo gavriΔ of Serbia,he survived both world wars and died at the age of 91
They did not charge they were ordered to walk
Momcilo Gavric Serbian kid solider
Its pronounced Psalm, not So-ma. The Somme…
My great-grandfather born in 1890 served in World War 1, he was drafted in 1917 and died at the age of 88 in 1978.
This soilder keeps cheating death he is like the death cheater the soidler that cheats death
It was very odd the way you pronounced somme its pronounced som
A nicely informative video. Nice job.
At 0:19 the sun look like a egg
I used to eat sand when i was 8 yrs old
Well a 6 year old fought in ww1
Officaly the youngest soldier in ww1 was Momcilo Gavric.Hes was 8 when he went into the Serbian army.
As he say in desc ww1 was brutal go back in time to Gettysburg one of the most brutal war in history :Gettysburg/civil war/18 century
In The First World War there was a very young serbian warrior, he was only 8 years old and his name was MomΔilo GavriΔ. The Austrians killed his whole family as he watched from cover, he found the Serbian army and begg to let him take revenge. He got a uniform, and as a soldier he helped fight. I'd be happy to give you all the information if you'd like to tell this little but great hero's story. He received the highest medals the Kingdom of Serbia could give
ππβthe battle of the so-mahβπππ itβs like βbro! Do u even know history?πβ
dose the sun look like a fried egg? or am I just hungary? 0:15
m counry fougt netherlands with our power
Wicked
I respect all soldiers
This reminds me of Hitler's 4th SS Hitlerjugend or an SS division made entirely of boys no older than 16. The Volksturm in general is made up of the elderly, lame, and too young.
the sun looks like a egg lol
I like how the thumbnail doesnβt even show a ww1 era rifle
Man while don't agree with it, a war that big and devastating just like a hurricane will displace pets from a home a war will displace parents from their children and vice versa. A kid enlisting after his entire family was massacred what else could he do but help the war effort? The last guy it ended up being a positive experience for him and the other guys felt pride for their service.
Thereβs an egg for the sun hahaahahah
Oddly convenient how it says July 1st and today is July 1st
Bvnjbvghhguvhjh
Women's Land Army – total joke – the Governmewnt had to bring in around 1.5 milion wounded/convalescing men to fill the gap of the millions of agricultural workers who left or were conscripted to join the military !!
i still canβt believe this happened
And this man was a kid thatβs why you should probablyLeave your moms basement

Half of the U.S's soldiers being boys 14 – 16 that lied about their age in WWII: " Yeah, what about it? "
