The youngest soldier known to have fought in World War I was Sidney Lewis, a British boy who enlisted at the age of 12. He joined the army in 1915 and served on the Western Front. His age was initially hidden, but he became one of the youngest combatants in the war, highlighting the desperate measures taken during that time to bolster military ranks. Lewis's story is a poignant reminder of the war's impact on youth.

Who was the youngest person to ever join world war 2?

I found this on the internet, but I have not verified it. Curt-Erwin Wüsthoff was born on 27 January 1898. He made his first flight sometime in September/October 1914 --- 16 3/4 years old. When he was sent to the front, they did not let him fly, probably because it would not be good to the morale of the troops to lose someone that young. British Ace Albert Ball was born on August 14, 1896. One reference book states that he qualified as a pilot on October 1915. Other references say it was Janyary 1916 (or age 19-1/2). At 19 years of age, he was assigned to his squadron. When he was shot down on 7 May 1917, he was the leading Allied ace with 44 victories at age 20. Not the youngest, but he looked like a teenager. That is a hard question to research.

How did lend lease work?

The Lend Lease program during World War II gave England and the Allies American materiel on a "lend lease" basis. In reality, the munitions were given to the British to fight the war. Little, if any, money ever changed hands.
