John Gilinsky Posted 1 November , 2013 Share Posted 1 November , 2013 http://www.britishpathe.com/video/boys-run-away-from-home-to-join-russian-army-aka The above is a hyperlink to British Pathe's online archived footage which is a very short preview of a very young (10 years old and possibly even younger) chest bemedalled uniformed boy. This purports to show a runaway youth eager for war excitement. Does anyone know WHO this boy is and WHAT became of him during the war, if he survived the war and the war's aftermath (i.e. Epidemics, Anarchy, Civil War, Bolshevik Revolutions, Hunger, etc...)? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 1 November , 2013 Share Posted 1 November , 2013 The IWM have the clip down as being part of a 1915 newsreel, if that's any use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
