"John Stout, now 80, served with the Irish Guards armoured division which raced to Arnhem to capture a key bridge.
He also fought in the Battle of the Bulge, ending the war as a commando.

So he fought in the 'Bulge when he was 13 or 14 years old. Interesting...

Yeah, that seems unlikely. Maybe he's 90 and not 80.

Well, you never know. The youngest person to serve in the US military in WW2, John Tosh, joined at age 14 after managing to convince the recruiter that he was really 16. He continued to serve in the military up through Desert Storm.
