He lied about his age so he could help his country in 1914 . He went in to the Royal Scots Fusiliers and he finished up being a POW for the last two years of the war. He was put on a farm first then he got on well with the people who ran the farm. He was then put in to a salt mine until the British Red Cross found him after the war. He was in a terrible state when he came home full of lice and was only 6 stone and he had been shot but the Germans put him in a hospital and cared for his wounds before they put him on the farm. He finished up with a limp for the rest of his life. He then went and joined up in 1945.
