England, WW1. The young man on the right (and they do look young, especially the one in the middle!), later moved to the U.S. with his family.

Middle one NO OLDER THAN 14
The youngest soldier of any country that fought in WWI was an 8 year old who was in the Serbian Army.

In the UK, boys as young as 12 were enlisting. Some were later returned home when their ages were discovered, but some were not found out and served through the entire war...or never came back.

The youngest American to die in Vietnam was 15 years old. He enlisted at age 14...he was tall for his age and had altered his birth certificate. He was sent to Nam, and a few weeks later, at the age of 15, he was killed there.

They also appear to be cavalrymen, judging by their pants and spurs.
Great that he survived!

So sad that ALL the veterans of the Great War have gone to Valhalla now, and World War II vets are also fading fast. We have nothing to replace them.
