I could not find WHO was the youngest Australian soldier enlisted in the Army in World War 2. But, I can tell you there were plenty of teens as young as 15 who fraudulently joined the services in all the English speaking forces. In Germany there were tons of teens serving Hitler in the military. I have included a marvelous link about Australians in the war.
