A TELEVISION production company is looking for World War One veterans who were under age when they served in the conflict.
Testimony Films also wants to hear from immediate relatives of veterans to help with a forthcoming Channel 4 documentary.
Associate producer Richard Van Emden said: "Many thousands of boys served in the forces aged as young as 14 and 15, and I am keen to make contact with
any who are still alive.
"Their memories will be used in a Channel 4 documentary telling the story of the boy soldiers and sailors for the first and, inevitably, the last time.
"I am also keen to find relatives of the many boy soldiers and sailors, younger sisters or brothers who recall them going off to war and the effect their service had on the rest of the family.
"Lastly, I am looking for any documents, letters, memoirs or photographs of boy soldiers and sailors to help illustrate the programme."
Should you be able to help , write to Richard van Emden at Testimony Films, 12 Great George Street, Bristol, BS1 5RS, telephone 0117 925 8589 or email on mail@testimonyfilms.force9.co.uk
