Maybe? It's terribly hard to tell. Noticed so many drummers photographed with the drum, seems odd this boy would not have been.
I don't know. Tons of veritable boys in that war, kids who look so young you wonder how they slid by enlistments even with faux papers stating they were of age. Two of my grgrgrandfathers joined under age, one 15, one 16. Would give around a million bucks to have a photo of either but if we did, guessing the images would be close.
May be just a very slight build, and a teenaged kid enlisted underage. His eyes seem awfully old, no?
